Child Sponsorship

at ActionAid Ireland

Thank you for your interest in Child Sponsorship and supporting the lives of women, children, and entire communities around the world.

On this page child sponsors will find out more information about child sponsorship, how donations are used, and how to contact our Supporter Care team if you have a question about your sponsorship.

While we’re no longer taking on new child sponsors from Ireland, existing Child Sponsors will continue to receive updates from their sponsored community and child. If you are new to ActionAid, the most powerful way to support women, girls and communities is to become a Regular Giver.

Become a Regular Giver

Your Sponsorship at work

Women and children living in poverty and exclusion are at the heart of what we do. With your support, our teams work with the furthest behind women, children and their communities supporting them to fulfil their potential and open the door to a brighter future.

Your Child Sponsorship benefits an entire community by providing safe access to food and water, education for children, and providing women with livelihood training so they can earn a living and support their family.

As part of your sponsorship, you’ll receive updates from your sponsored child and the community they live in so that you can see the incredible and tangible difference your kindness is making.

How will my donation be used?

72% of child sponsorship donations directly fund vital long-term work in the sponsored child’s community.
28% is kept in Ireland for campaigning for structural changes to end poverty, raising awareness and encouraging others to become supporters of ActionAid.
