Tips for Writing to Your Sponsored Child

1. Writing to your sponsored child is a deeply rewarding experience. For the child, your letters are a source of joy and encouragement, making them feel special and loved. It shows them that someone far away genuinely cares about their life and dreams. Your letters can inspire hope and confidence, motivating them to strive for a brighter future.

2. Tips: Sharing stories, exchanging photos, and celebrating milestones together transforms your sponsorship into a meaningful relationship, enriching both your lives with connection and love. Learn more about what you can send to your sponsored child.

3. Sponsored children in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and parts of Ethiopia, live in what we call sensitive communities. In sensitive communities, the culture or laws make traditional evangelism ineffective, illegal, or even dangerous

Safeguarding Guidelines

For child safety purposes: When you communicate with your sponsored child, it is important that all communication goes through the Food for the Hungry main office for review. For your and your sponsored child’s safety, we do not support contact with your sponsored child through social media or other means such as email or phone. Writing messages is the best way for you to encourage and inspire your sponsored child!

For the safety of your sponsored child and your family, please do not include any of the following in your messages:

  • Your home address or other identifying information such as an email address or phone number.
  • Money or personal financial information
  • Photos that show your pets, since dogs, pigs, and other animals are considered unclean in many other cultures.

You are about to embark on a new FH Donor Experience

If you need assistance, please contact us at donorhelp@fh.org or 866-307-3259.

Gift Policy:
You may send small, flat paper-based items that can fit into a standard #10 size envelope, have a value of less than $5 dollars and weigh less than 4 ounces. We ask that you send small, flat items of this size because shipping is expensive and even small gift items can cause issues clearing customs.

You can send postcards or photographs, however, we ask that you visit here for more details about culturally appropriate guidelines for photos and other images. Please write the child’s ID # on the back of each item that you enclose with your letter to ensure that it reaches him/her.
 
Best gifts to send your sponsored child:
  • Paper dolls
  • Postcards
  • Pictures of yourself or family
  • Sports cards, individual cards (baseball, soccer, football)
  • Stickers (flat, paper-based, only a few at a time)
  • Paper-based simple bookmarks, stationery, drawing, or writing paper (single sheets)
  • Coloring pages (single sheets, not books)

Please do NOT send:
  • Monetary gifts
  • Liquids, candy, or food
  • Batteries or magnets

Please note, all items should be compliant with airline transport and safety regulations. Gifts that don’t meet the gift policy will be donated to a local Christian non-profit organization in Phoenix, Arizona, that works with low-income families. We will not be able to return them.
