CCF Child Sponsorship
CCF Child Sponsorship
If you're looking for a meaningful cause to help children and feel connected to them, CCF is for you! You won't regret it!
Having a sponsor feels like I have a new family member, or a new friend.”
“I consider them to be children that I can have a positive influence on and mentor. I can be there to encourage them and let them know that I’m here for them,” says Jamie Schagat, who sponsors multiple children with CCF, the majority girls.
Her sponsorship means that girls from disadvantaged backgrounds have the opportunity of a life-changing education, and as a sponsor Jamie can be a positive influence in their lives.
“I want to be proactive with changing somebody's life,” says Jamie. “CCF is the best sponsorship organization that I have come across, and it will lead to lasting relationships with the children.”
Daevy, 10, the first child that Jamie sponsored, loves having the encouragement of a sponsor.
”Having a sponsor feels like I have a new family member, or a new friend, who is close to me. I am happy to have her in my life,” she says.
As a sponsor, you’ll go on a journey together with a child and help them achieve their dreams, making a lasting impact for generations to come.
How does CCF’s Child Sponsorship Program work?
CCF’s Sponsorship Program allows you to form a uniquely close bond with a child in another country and culture.
Each child only has one sponsor, so it’s an exceptional relationship. You’ll get to know each other through emails, Skype calls and even visits if you wish.
This one-to-one sponsorship allows a closeness to develop over time. We have sponsors who have taken every step with their child, all the way from primary school to university and graduating.
A commitment of $150 a month gives a child in Cambodia the chance of a better life, a transformation you’ll be able to see actually happen.

With 1 out of 8 children unsponsored, we need approximately 250 more sponsors for every child in CCF to be supported
Equal to the cost of a Cappuccino, CCF's Sponsorship Program is less than $5 per day
Over 17,000 messages are exchanged annually between children and sponsors

What Our Sponsors Say
Australia
Sandra Sully
“We were just so excited about meeting Srey Nait. I distinctly remember our embrace when I felt her tiny frame, and her arms wrap around me. I realised this sweet girl could hopefully be a part of our lives forever. It was real, tangible and a golden memory etched into my mind and heart forever.”
USA
Dave Hoover
“What’s been so rewarding about it, is the one-on-one connection of being a sponsor. To know that the contribution you are making is helping a specific child and you are in contact with that child, is what makes it special for me.”
Cambodia
Ty Chea
“After many years of being part of the CCF family - yes, I call it a family. I feel like a family member - what I observe is that the support structure is well thought out. It's set up not to only support the kids, but their families and the community they live in. I think this is what's outstanding and I can clearly see where my money is going.”
Hong Kong
Libby Vaughan
“Sponsorship is very much for the whole family. We have a connection with our sponsored children and as a family we all get involved.”
$150 helps to provide access to CCF’s award-winning education program and community-based services, as well as critical services such as healthcare, housing, debt relief and child development support such as nutrition, counselling and youth leadership training.
As part of this global community, your sponsorship has a broader influence beyond one child, contributing to the long-term sustainability of the community and the success of CCF. Around 20% of our costs are covered by child sponsorship, ensuring that we can continue to be here for all the children that need us now and in the future.
With minimal overheads, your support can go directly on the ground in communities where it’s needed most.
