maize Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I just saw the post asking about Christian sponsoring organizations, which reminded me that I had recently wondered if there are non-religious programs for sponsoring a child or family. Something that would allow me to pay for things like school tuitions, uniforms, and supplies maybe, or pay for a family to have electricity or something?

Mom2Five Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I saw several in my google searches. I am not sure as to which are legit etc. Hopefully you can get good recommendations. I'm always a bit skeptical and like to know that my money is going to the child.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2Five Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 This is the one I was looking at and still considering because it is in the area of the world that I want. http://www.zakat.org/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yucabird Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Your post reminded me of an article I read years ago: http://www.yucatanliving.com/daily-life/apoyo-program-for-students-in-progreso. I did a quick search and found an update from 2013: http://www.yucatanliving.com/culture/progreso-capp I have no affiliation with this program or the website. ETA: second link doesn't work; trying again ETA: still doesn't work ... just cut and paste! Edited March 22, 2016 by yucabird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara in AZ Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 We currently sponsor a little girl in Ecuador through Childfund International. I researched the organization before we committed and it seems pretty above board. We send letters and pictures back and forth and receive updates about the money is put to use. She's not an orphan, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
