Caring is our one job

Children International’s Care Team helps make the most of your sponsorship

The connection between a sponsor and child is at the heart of what we do. We know that together we can change the lives of children living in poverty around the world. Our Care Team has a knack for finding ways to make sponsorship more valuable to both you and your sponsored child.

A team of diverse, committed experts

Our Care Team is located in our headquarters in Kansas City, MO — but they have varied backgrounds. Some have even lived in the countries where we work.
Many are sponsors too! They know the sponsorship journey better than anyone and can help you navigate it along the way.
Some on our team have been working at Children International for more than 20 years.

Our team consists of English and Spanish speakers.
When you call us, you’re not going to sit on hold forever. You’ll talk to a real person, right away.
They have traveled to the field! Some have met their sponsored children and have great stories about their experience.
See the many ways to reach us on our "Contact us" page.
