Your sponsorship gifts help your sponsored child’s whole family by providing job skills training, microloans to start small businesses, livestock and other resources to generate income.
When kids are in school, they are protected from trafficking and exploitation, and they’re learning skills to escape poverty forever!
As a sponsor, you can help reunite a child living in institutional care with his or her family — and provide the support and resources they need to grow strong, stable and self-reliant.
When children have regular, healthy meals, their bodies and minds grow strong enough to reach their dreams!
The cost of a doctor visit or the distance of a hospital should never prevent a child from getting the care they need!
If your sponsored child is homeless or orphaned, you will help provide nurturing care in a foster home or other safe living environment.
When you sponsor a child through Holt, your monthly gifts help provide everything a child needs to reach their potential in life — from food, shelter and education to the nurturing care of a devoted family or caregiver.
Over time, you may also build a relationship with your sponsored child by corresponding through our Holt Sponsor Center. Children may send letters or artwork to share about their lives and express their gratitude. Here are letters two children wrote for their sponsors in the U.S.
Thank you so much for your sponsorship! I’m in tears and get so emotional when I receive the funding from you. I’m so grateful that you picked me and have trust in me. You have been a true inspiration to me. I must keep on doing my best at school, and you will be my motivation when I face challenges. I will stay focused on my studies, and create my own bright future. I want to walk out of the mountain, and explore the world. Best wishes for you.
