Why we need you

More than one in ten of the poorest people in the world are over 60. Many are trying to survive on less than a dollar per day, often whilst caring for grandchildren orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. In these exhausting circumstances, it is almost impossible to move on from a life of grinding poverty.

These people need your support. Their grandchildren and their communities depend on them, but without enough food, the right medicines and the resources to make a living in the long term, life is very, very hard.

You can make a difference. Projects funded through Sponsor a Grandparent are changing lives overseas - not just one life, but the lives of a whole community.

You'll know you're helping

When you sponsor a grandparent, you are changing lives and you get to share in the hope that your support makes possible. This is a two-way relationship and that's what makes it special.

In return for your sponsorship, you'll receive a photo of your grandparent and details of their life and community, and information on the country they live in - you can download or receive these by email as soon as you sign up.

Twice a year, you'll hear the latest news from your grandparent, letting you know how they and their community are getting on and how your money is making a difference. You'll also receive a Sponsor a Grandparent newsletter three times a year, keeping you up to date with the work we do all over the world.
