We empower young people to succeed

In Nicaragua, there’s an urgent need to empower young women and girls to support themselves. We’re doing that through our program, projects and a virtual platform we built to promote skills development and employability. Our goal? Spur girls — and all young people — to break barriers, inspire positive change and improve their lives.

How does child sponsorship work?

Sponsorship combines funding from supporters to provide children with access to education so they can thrive in school and life. The program also gives children:

– equal access to opportunities and resources, such as clean water, healthcare and quality education
– confidence, knowledge and leadership skills to realize their rights
– opportunities to have their voices heard through community clubs, public forums and our sponsorship programming
– the tools to play an active role in improving the systems that are supposed to protect them

And, letters sent between donor and sponsored child contribute to building a child’s confidence, so they’re encouraged to create a brighter future for themselves.

How much does it cost to be a child sponsor?

For $44 per month, sponsorship through Children Believe gives a child access to education and provides their community with the tools and resources they need to thrive.

How do I know I'm making a difference?

As a child sponsor, you’ll receive an Annual Report as well as an update of your sponsored child’s progress and a new photo, so you can see how they’ve grown. We also include updates from their community so you see what your support, along with their hard work, has accomplished.

Trust and accountability are very important to us. Children Believe uses results-based management to measure and evaluate everything we do. This ensures we’re accountable to you and can achieve the greatest change for children.

Read ChildVoice magazine and our online stories to meet the children and families you’re helping.

Why did you change your name?

Since we were founded in 1960, we’ve reached out to children of all faiths, ethnicities and cultures, and all people who want to make a difference in their lives. Yet, in the countries we work, there’s often confusion about whether we serve children of other faiths.

As a commitment to our Christian faith principles, we want every child to feel excited and proud our name represents them and every person to feel inspired and welcome to join our cause.
