Thinking of becoming a Hope St child sponsor?
Great! Hope St’s aim is that every sponsored child can support himself/or herself and others when their sponsorship concludes, so we commit to sponsoring children through their vocational training or tertiary education. Education is the best long-term means of setting these children and their families free from poverty and exploitation.
When you sponsor a Hope St child you can build a relationship to give hope to your sponsored child, their family and their whole community.

Sponsorship FAQs
The cost of child sponsorship varies with the location you choose. Shared sponsorship is available from $30 per month, and sole sponsorship from $60 per month.

We have introduced a shared sponsorship model as the cost to keep a child in Hope Focus’ intensive program is $180/month. Costs are higher in Chafisi’s program as well, especially for children in secondary school and tertiary education.
If you choose to part-sponsor a child, you can pay as little as $30/month and share sponsorship with other Hope St sponsors, even those you don’t know.
When we receive your interest in sponsoring a child, we will forward an email with payment options. Most sponsors pay monthly. Some prefer fortnightly or weekly payments.
Hope St sponsored children are supported until they have finished training and are able to stand on their own feet. However, while sponsors get great satisfaction from seeing their sponsored child complete their education, there is no formal time commitment. You can get in touch with us to cancel at any time.
We encourage you to write to your sponsored child at any time. You will receive a reply from the child, or if they are too young to write they will draw you a picture.
