Yes, please do! We ask you to send it through us and we will ensure that it is translated. We cannot guarantee replies, but we actively encourage the children or the families to write once every six months. However cultural and practical communication differences mean that forming a relationship is possible but needs to be “worked at”.    <Back to top>

Kingscare spreads charity governance costs, project support costs, and publicity costs across all projects in proportion to the income of that project. In 2008 this amounted to about 16%.  <Back to top>

Gift Aid adds about 25% to the value of the gift. This amount will also go for the benefit of children covered under the sponsorship scheme  <Back to top>

Needs vary for each student according to the country, the type of school an exchange rates etc. The average cost is £21 per month across all countries. You can be sure that the education of "your" child will be a priority but some of your money or the gift aid tax relief maybe also used to benefit other children.   <Back to top>
