Do Sponsor a Child Programs Help?

Child sponsorship programs are incredibly popular, but is it ethical to sponsor a child? Does Child Sponsorship through organizations like World Vision and Compassion work? Does the money go to a good cause, or is it wasted? I explore the outcomes for some Sponsor a Child programs.
In this video I look at the complaints some organizations have had against child sponsorship advertising. Followed by a short introduction to the history of child sponsorship starting with Save the Children in World War 1.
Then I look at the largest study every conducted on Child Sponsorship, a multi year study on Compassion International. Finally I examine how the outcomes for children in the Compassion program were higher than children who were not and offer some possible reasons as to why.

    Compassion really encourages letter writing to the children, they even have on their page that tamiles requested these letters over monetary gifts. I think the connection between the sponsor and the child is very important

    I sense they expected to find that child sponsoring doesn't work but ended up finding that it does. I think the reason why it works is because sponsors are encouraged to connect with the child though letters, gifts and even encouraged to visit their child in person. Money is necessary but is the love and care as well as meaningful life coaching that is essential! This is in stark contrast with programs here in North America that assume money can fix anything. Surprise! Money can't replace love.

    This is great! I think it's important to research what we spend our time and money on, to see if it's a good thing or not. My parents sponsored a child in Africa through a Norwegian organization which works on helping people help themselves in poor communities, buying families animals they can use for themselves and sell eggs and milk, and helping children get education so they can support their families better.

    It should be said as well in Compassion's program only one child per family is sponsored, however all the children in that family recieve the benefits if needed. Children International's program has a bit higher admin costs but has excellent child facilities. Preform your diligence due, check Chairity Tracker before giving money to anyone and then only to charities who will fund you a receipt at the end of the year

    I can talk about this for hours and hours.... Having worked on both sides.... I remember that 2013 study, Iand was right there with the folks doing that study.... What can I say.... One doesn't know what's going on, unless they actually work in that country and know the child. Of course every organization is different. Do realize that some of these benefits are very dependent... I.e. what does medical help mean? There is a lot of questions there. How do these letters get written. I've sat down with many of these children to write a letter to their sponsor. A lot of it depends on the local centers... It's a shot in the dark... I've seen really wonderful results and I've seen lousy results... It all depends....

It is really the uncomfortable or threatening parts of the Bible or interactions with God and man where people can grow the most.. It isn't easy or nice but it is part of what God does to mature a person. And once through something difficult, there is an extra dimension or richness to one's life because they have gained understanding on a deeper level.

Compassion have publicly stated that only one sponsor is connected to a child, see blog.compassion.com/do-children-in-compassion-program-have-more-than-one-sponsor/ I also know that any sponsor is welcome to go and visit one of the programs if they so desire (and I have friends who have done so and were impressed with what they saw). So taking them at their word, no I don't think so. I haven't looked into the others such as World Vision.

Background music is great/meant for when you don't need to pay attention or think about what is said, hence I disagree it's inclusion because what you are saying is important. For example, Cable News don't play background when the anchor is speaking.
