Save a Child
Through long-term sponsorship, Save a Child has given poor children in India a second opportunity. Several hundred sponsored youngsters live in safety, enjoying life, and continue their education in order to reach their full potential as adults. People who are  responsible for this are the sponsor who provides long-term assistance, and the general donor, who adds to the assistance. Volunteer trustees, board members, and administrators work for Save a Child. Sponsorship funds, as well as one-time gifts for programmes and general work, are distributed to the Residential Homes in India where sponsored children reside. Save a Child demands confirmation from each Home of the final destination of any donations sent. The sponsored kid stays in a Residential Home maintained by expert personnel in Delhi, Kolkata, or West Bengal. The sponsor's money helps with housing, health, clothing, education, and other practical requirements, as well as enjoying Indian festivities like Durga Puja and Diwali. Every child's religious beliefs are acknowledged. When a kid has a family and a house, his or her parents consent to the sponsorship and the youngster is allowed to return home for vacations. One-time gifts help fund general initiatives such as ceiling fans, first aid kits, computer courses, English classes, or simply a nice picnic day.
