SPONSOR A CHILD.
CHANGE A LIFE.
We believe that every child deserves a loving, fulfilling and safe childhood. Our sponsorship scheme allows you to become a changemaker. Changing lives and supporting each child's right to a stable and nurturing childhood.
"Many children helped by Safe Child Thailand start with nothing and no one. Helping them completely reshapes your perspective on how fortunate you are, and it allows you to give children opportunities they would never otherwise have."

TATE'S STORY
Tate is 6 years' old and lives in a province about 120 miles south of Bangkok. His father worked in the fish packing industry but money was extremely tight. When Tate's was 1-years'old, his father was imprisoned. His his mother, who could not find local work, left Tate with his elderly grandmother to move to another province. She never returned. Tate's grandmother was elderly, extremely poor and was unable to care for the growing boy. She took Tate to a local shelter and asked them to take him in and give him the safe home that she could not provide.
By becoming a sponsor today, you will provide children like Tate with food, shelter, clothes, and medical care they need, as well as supporting their safe rehabilitation back into their communities when they are old enough to live independently.
LILY'S STORY
Lily is 4-years-old and has cerebral palsy; meaning she requires round-the-clock physical care. Earlier this year, Lily and her 3 siblings were moved to a safe-house in eastern Thailand after their mother disappeared. The household Lily and her siblings grew up in, was fraught with domestic violence, substance abuse and neglect.
Thankfully, the safe-house offered to keep the siblings together and to provide a designated carer to meet Lily's needs. Your sponsorship will ensure Lily has access to care, therapy and special education to ensure she can develop her physical, communication and social skills.
* Please note that the photographs used on this page are not the actual photographs of the child in the case study. This is to protect the identity and dignity of the children in our Sponsorship Programme, many of who have experienced significant trauma and are highly vulnerable. We do this to align with our Safeguarding Policy, which can be found here. Sponsors will receive a real image of their sponsored child, once their sponsorship commences. We ask that these images are not shared by sponsors on any public platforms or social media sites to protect our children and their caregivers. Thank you.
Where Does My Money Go?
Your monthly sponsorship donation is carefully managed to maximise direct impact:
65%
Goes directly to supporting your sponsored child.
Funds are used to house, care for and protect the children in our sponsorship programme. They are used to provide vital, everyday services including access to safe education, healthcare, nutritious meals, school uniforms, safe drinking water, and clean residential care homes.
Education
Healthcare
Nutritious Meals
Safe Homes
Clean Water
Uniforms
35%
Goes to community projects that create lasting change.
We believe that strengthening the wider safety-net protects the most vulnerable children. This fund builds the capacity of community projects and protection initiatives that prevent abuse, exploitation, and inequality at a systemic level. This work exists so that, over time, less and less children in Thailand will rely on care provided by orphanages, boarding houses and third-party care providers. Instead, future generations will be supported by resilient families and communities.

SPONSORSHIP FAQS
How does Child Sponsorship work?
1.
Child sponsorship has to be carefully managed and we always keep a child's privacy and dignity a priority. A sponsorship is a monthly donation that support a child and others like him/her to access safe and nurturing care, education and childhood experiences. Children in our sponsorship programme are symbolic of hundred of children that benefit from funds generated through our sponsorship programme. Each child tells a real-life story of hope restored and progress made thanks to your generosity and compassion.
How are the funds spent?
2.
Your regular monthly donation provides a stable, predictable income for local children homes, schools, learning centres and caregivers. This stability allows our project teams on the ground in Thailand to deliver consistent, high-quality care, education, and protection to children who are orphaned, abandoned, or living in vulnerable conditions. Your sponsorship also helps to build community resources that protect and care for children and make up a critical safety-net for those most at risk of harm, abuse and exploitation.
Can I write to my sponsored child?
3.
Yes, absolutely! Sponsors are welcome to write letters of encouragement as well as send birthday or special occasion cards. For many children, knowing someone across the world cares about them builds incredible self-confidence. We provide guidelines and support to handle letter translation and delivery to ensure all communication remains safe and secure.
Can I visit my sponsored child?
4.
In the interest of child protection, you will not be able to visit your sponsored child. We have an unwavering commitment to safeguarding children so their anonymity, dignity and privacy is always respected and protected. You are welcome to write letters to your sponsored child and you will receive return correspondence. Please see our Child Protection Policy for more information.
How long does my sponsorship last?
5.
Sponsorship is a long-term commitment to a child's development, usually lasting until the young person completes their education or vocational training, or when their family’s circumstances improve to a point where they no longer require support. However, we understand that personal circumstances change; you are free to cancel your sponsorship at any time.
