Child sponsorship will generally last until the child you sponsor finishes their education, which is usually between the ages of 18 and 22 depending on the country and personal circumstances. It’s quite common for the children in our programmes to start school late, have to repeat years or even stay on to do vocational training courses. We want to support them through everything, so they’re in the best possible position to support themselves and their families when they grow up. Be inspired by Emanuel’s story here.
Sometimes children may leave the project before they’ve finished their education. If there is another Compassion project near their new home, we’ll transfer their sponsorship. If we’re unable to find a suitable project, then we’ll let you know so you can write a final letter to bless them.
Our hope is that each child will have the same sponsor throughout, but we do understand that our sponsors’ situations change too. If you wish to end your child sponsorship, the child you sponsor will continue to benefit from the Compassion programme and we’ll look to find a new sponsor as quickly as possible.
