SPONSOR A GIRL

A path to gender equality.

Every day, girls living in poverty face unbelievable hurdles. Recently, the United Nations released an initiative* to promote gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls. Through our programs, Children International works to achieve these goals:

  End all forms of discrimination against women and girls everywhere.
  Eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls.
  Adopt and strengthen sound policies and legislation to promote gender equality and empowerment.
  Ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making.
  Ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health.

We’re helping girls help girls.
It’s a ripple effect.

Your support as a sponsor helps give a girl or young woman who is living in poverty the life skills, education and confidence she needs to transform her life. Through our community centers and programs, girls can rewrite their stories, empower their families and give back to their communities. It’s a ripple effect that can positively impact generations of women.

What is child sponsorship?
