Sponsor a girl today and support an entire community. When you sponsor a girl, you’re ensuring they grow up safe, educated and empowered by investing in their entire community.
Sponsor a girl today and support an entire community.
Your monthly gift supports local solutions designed by girls, families and community leaders. It strengthens schools, protects children from violence, improves access to clean water and helps communities break down the barriers that hold girls back.
Your sponsorship helps to build resilient communities that can support and protect girls as they grow. Communities which prevent child marriage and encourage girls to stay in school – even in crisis.
As a sponsor, you will be connected to a child who’s an ambassador for their community.
You can build this special connection by sharing letters, drawings, and photos so you’ll get a glimpse into their world and the change you’re supporting.
As a sponsor, you support communities to educate, empower and protect their children. Every sponsored child’s journey is unique — but each sponsorship can help drive long-lasting change to benefit everyone in the community and beyond.
It’s just 82 cents per day to sponsor a girl and support her community. Every year, we spend 95% of that on project delivery and only 5% on administration, fundraising and governance. This includes emergency response and long-term development projects.
Welcome Pack
Your welcome pack introduces you to the girl you sponsor and her community. You’ll find photos and lots of information all about her and her community. Expect your Welcome Pack to arrive within 4-7 days of signing up.
Letter Writing
You will have the opportunity to write to the girl you sponsor if you choose to. You can share insights into your world through letters, drawings and photos and many children choose to share letters and drawings with sponsors too!
Regular Updates
We’ll keep you updated about the community you are supporting through annual updates. You’ll see how they are combining their knowledge with your support to drive change for children, including the girl you sponsor.
The Plan Effect is our unique approach to child sponsorship and community-based programmes. It creates holistic developments for the girl you sponsor, her family and her entire community. These range from access to clean water, to improvements in girls’ enrolment in school to protection from violence and so much more.
Whether you sponsor a girl or a boy, you’ll help projects focused on equal opportunities for all children. We know girls are the most vulnerable and we ensure that boys play an important role in building secure communities that value girls.
No. When you sponsor a girl, your donations support her entire community. With more than 80 years of experience, we know that the best way to help every child unleash their potential is to engage families and entire communities in the change, so they can carry on – and further – the positive impact for many years to come.
No, it’s not. The girl you sponsor has a family of her own, but your words of encouragement play an important role for her and her community. Letter writing also helps girls learn about other cultures and improve their literacy skills.
Our Supporter Care Team would be delighted to answer all your questions about sponsorship. You can reach them on 1800 829 829 or email at info@plan.ie.
