ActionAid
is one of the UK’s largest international development charities, helping
poor people in over 35 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the
Caribbean. Child sponsorship is key to our work. If we all sponsored a
child in the developing world, imagine the difference we could make. The
world’s poorest people would get a chance to create a self-reliant future.
Poverty could be a thing of the past. Child sponsorship helps a child’s
whole community by providing access to safe, clean water, healthcare,
education and an escape from a life of hardship and disease. Sponsors
will see how their money is working through regular updates from local
fieldworkers and personal messages from the child they sponsor.

WWF
Membership - "The world's species are facing their biggest crisis
since the age of the dinosaurs. Threats from pollution, habitat destruction
and climate change are so severe that a recent UN report says 25 per cent
of the world's mammals face extinction within 25 years. For many of us,
the issue is a moral one. A question of whether we have the right to leave
behind us a world that is so much poorer than the one we inherited." If
you feel passionate about preserving the incalculably precious heritage
that is the natural world, please join WWF. With so much at stake,
you'll be glad to know you're supporting the world's most effective independent
conservation charity. With proven examples of success on every continent:
- Save threatened species like the elephant, tiger, rhino and mountain
gorilla - Protect and preserve endangered habitats like the Amazon rainforest
and UK coastal waters and wetlands - Campaign for cleaner oceans to protect
both animals and people from pollution and chemical poisoning - Fight
global warming by persuading governments to do more to tackle this serious
threat to our future.
WWF’s
mission is to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment
and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. We do
this by: - conserving the world’s biological diversity. - ensuring that
the use of renewable resources is sustainable. - promoting the reduction
of pollution and wasteful consumption. WWF is the world’s largest independent
global conservation organisation. We work to address global threats such
as climate change, the consumption of natural resources and the use of
toxic chemicals, and we influence attitudes and behaviour through lobbying,
campaigning and education. However, we are best known for our programmes
to protect endangered species and their habitats, and much of our work
is in areas where the most critically endangered wildlife and the least
protected habitats are found. WWF offer six animal adoptions –
tiger, dolphin, panda, orang-utan, rhino and elephant. By adopting
an animal you can help to safeguard the future of their species and
help WWF to seek long-term sustainable solutions for the benefit of people
and nature.
World
Vision - In some developing countries poverty kills 1 in 3 children
in their infancy. World Vision, one of the world’s leading relief and
development agencies is working to help stop this through their Child
Sponsorship programme. Becoming a Child Sponsor is a meaningful and rewarding
experience for both the child and the sponsor. Not only does your support
provide the essentials a child needs to survive such as clean water, basic
healthcare and enough food, but also an education to try to break the
cycle of poverty. The direct relationship you have with your sponsored
child, through letters and cards will also give them hope through the
knowledge that someone cares. But without Child Sponsors this simply won’t
happen. Make a difference and sponsor a child now from as little as 60p
a day, the cost of a can of soft drink.
