The Plan sponsorship program has helped me a lot. It has provided me with my school materials.

The full circle of Fate
Access to education is hard for girls in villages in Cameroon. Parents decide to keep a girl child at home because there’s an idea that the female will get married, but the male child will carry the family’s legacy. I didn’t have to worry about this because of my sponsor.
When you sponsor a child through through Plan, you form an incredible friendship.
But that’s just the beginning. With Plan, you also have the unique opportunity to:
Send her birthday gifts and cards.
Give her special holiday presents called Little Treasures.
Subscribe her to Plan’s educational kids’ magazine, Sunny Days.
— Visit her (when travel restrictions are lifted), with individual travel assistance from us.
Each gift offering is safely hand-delivered by us, and given to your child with personalized cards from you. It’s likely that the child you sponsor will have never seen anything like these gifts, and they’re available year-round to make the bond between you and your sponsored child even stronger.

Become a sponsor
You’ll receive information about your sponsored child’s health, family, home life and more. And your sponsored child will learn about you, too!
Form a life-long bond
Exchange letters with your sponsored child, create a relationship and show them that you’re here for them — no matter how far away you are. You can create a bond that lasts forever.
When you sponsor a child with Plan International USA, you have the opportunity to develop a life-long connection with a girl or boy who needs you, while helping to improve the support network surrounding them.
