About this appeal

Sponsor an orphan in Lebanon, Palestine, Turkey or the Syrian refugee camps for £30 a month, less than £1 a day, covering food, shelter and clothing. Part of your gift supports the child you choose, and the rest joins our collective fund so no orphan in our care is left behind.

£30 per month helps to cover the costs of food, shelter, and clothing, which works out to less than £1 per day!

In addition, your donation also becomes part of our collective Orphan Sponsorship, which is dedicated to helping all the orphans under our care. This fund is crucial in maintaining a sustainable support system that benefits every child, ensuring that no orphan is left behind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Confused about donating? Take a look at our frequently asked questions below.

How can I contact my sponsored orphan?

We encourage regular communication with your sponsored child, and writing letters is the preferred method. To do so, attach your letter to an email (e.g., in Word format) and send it to us at [email protected]. Please include your donor email and donation ID.

What is orphan sponsorship?

Orphan sponsorship is an effective way of giving that establishes a connection between a donor and a vulnerable orphan. The donor will receive regular updates on how their support is helping the sponsored child and their family.

What languages can I use to write to my sponsored orphan?

You can write to your sponsored orphan in any language you are comfortable with. Our team will ensure the letters are translated appropriately.

Can I call you if I have any further questions?

Absolutely. If you have any further questions or if your circumstances change, please do not hesitate to reach out to our friendly customer services team. You can call us at 0333 090 2223 for immediate assistance during our business hours.

Thank you for choosing our services. We look forward to assisting you.

Can we sponsor a group of children or a school?

While you can sponsor more than one child, sponsoring an entire school is not possible as not all students may be eligible for sponsorship. However, if you are interested in supporting a class, school, or project, we can consider this on a case-by-case basis.

Why can't my donation go to a single orphan?

When donating via our orphan sponsorship programme, your donation goes into a fund that helps all orphans within the selected orphan group. This ensures that your donation reaches the sponsored orphan and all others in that group. This approach guarantees continuous support for each child, ensuring no child is left behind regardless of changes in individual sponsorships. Your contribution makes a significant impact on the lives of all children within the group, providing them with the care and support they need.

Can I visit my sponsored child?

Supervised visits can be arranged with approval from the GHH office, the child, and their guardian. Visits are not permitted at the orphan’s home to comply with our safeguarding policy. Instead, meetings will take place at the local GHH office. For safety reasons, personal information such as the child’s address or telephone number will not be disclosed.

What other ways can I support orphans besides sponsorship?

Besides sponsorship, you can support orphans through one-time donations, fundraising events, and volunteering your time. Your contributions help fund essential services and projects that improve the lives of vulnerable children and their communities. For more information, please visit our website or contact us directly.
