The Secretary-General of the United Nations has called for the mainstreaming of human rights in all areas of UN operations-for example, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in its mandate for refugee children, or the International Labour Organization (ILO) in its commitment to eliminate child labour. In the case of UNICEF, the Convention has become more than just a reference, but a systematic guide to the work of the organization.

Child sponsorship is a long-term commitment to support the day-to-day costs of raising a child in a developing country. By covering these costs you are freeing up money for new initiatives such as health centres, outreach work or building expansion which enables our partners to assist even more children.

The children are greatly encouraged to know that someone so far away loves them enough to care for them. You can send letters to Eden Children's Village, P.O. Box 166, Mhangura, Zimbabwe, Attn: Your Child's Name. If you prefer, you can e-mail your letter to our office, and it will be translated, if necessary, and given to your child.

We are happy for sponsors to come and meet their sponsor child. One sponsor has said that being able to hug the little girl she sponsors was a life-changing experience. Keep in mind that you will need a variety of immunizations which need to start 6 months before your departure. See your local health department for the required immunizations. Let us know of your intentions, so we can make sure that you will have as much time as possible with your sponsor child. See similar questions...

Our goal is to have each child fully sponsored, either by one sponsor who commits to a full sponsorship, or two partial sponsorships. In some countries we may have a third partial sponsorship, as the cost of living in that area is higher than in other countries. No, the sponsorship funds are sent monthly in one lump sum to the children's home Directors, who then purchase food, clothing, pay school fees, pay care-givers and other staff, procure medical care etc. for the child.
