Sponsor a Child Project
For children. For change. For good
Sponsor a child in Uganda and change s child’s world for good
Helping bring lasting change to a child in poverty for just 80p per month.
Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa. Here the lack of resources dedicated to
education means that children experience a poor level of learning at school. Poverty also
means that a child’s attendance at school can be sporadic. Your support will be vital in
helping Africa Goodwill Foundation’s work with the community to help improve education
provision and reduce HIV infection levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I be sure my money gets through to those who need it?
As a charity, we are regulated by the Charity Commission – a legal body, which oversees all
UK charities and their activities. We are a not-for-profit organisation, and we know that the
continued support we receive is dependent on our efficient use of supporters money. Our
Annual Report is available to anyone who requests it.
How do select the children who will be sponsored?
In every case, it is the community members themselves who decide which children will
become sponsored and represent their community.
How do you select which communities to work with?
We work with national Governments and other International agencies to identify the
regions and communities that are most in need, some of the hardest places where the most
vulnerable children live. We then meet with the community leaders and a wider community
to gain a greater understanding of the challenges and the opportunities that exist for them
and we develop a long-term plan together, to break the cycle of poverty.
How does a child sponsorship work?
Sponsorship brings much needed change to more than just one child –the benefit you help
provide extends to each child’s family, their community and other children in need. This is
because Africa Goodwill Foundation partners, plans and works alongside local community
members to help build healthy, sustainable communities for vulnerable children in the
world’s hardest places.
How does sponsorship help children?
Millions of children around the world need help to break the never – ending cycle of
poverty. Hunger weakens them. Unsafe drinking water makes them sick. Missing out on an
education can stop them from reaching their potential.
