Benefits of Child Sponsorship
Communicating with your sponsored child keeps you up-to-date with their progress and that of their whole community. We facilitate communication between you and your sponsored child in the best possible way we can.
In order to be efficient and manage the communication between sponsors and children effectively, we have Three Intake periods before starting a sponsorship- December Intake, April Intake and August Intake. As we are a non-donor funded organization, we have limited staff for our projects. We strive to do our best within our limitations. You may send your sponsorship donation any time of the year.
Full sponsors will receive:
- A photo of their sponsored child.
- An electronic copy of their sponsored child’s progress report twice a year.
- Electronic copies of any letters, cards and other correspondence from their sponsored child, should they wish to receive this.
- VIN’s Annual Report and Newsletter.
Bellow is the sponsorship communication scheme for 3 intakes:
