CHILD SPONSORSHIP
There are more than 40 million orphans and orphaned children affected by economic and political crises worldwide. In Türkiye, more than 5 million children were affected by the earthquake. Children around the world have to struggle with war, conflict, disaster, crisis, hunger and disease. Children who have to struggle with these problems are deprived of their right to protection and face dangerous situations such as child labor, substance abuse, child marriage, physical and sexual abuse.
With child sponsorship, financial support is provided on a monthly basis to children in need, especially orphaned children, who are struggling to cope with severe and chronic health problems, who are disabled or have disabled family members, who cannot access social assistance, who have to work or are at risk of working to support their families, and who have limited financial means. The school attendance of the children supported under the sponsorship is regularly monitored and encouraging guidance is provided.
