According to a 2016 Worldbank study on international child sponsorships, “We believe sponsorship not only provides for some basic educational and health needs, but is very good at raising aspirations among sponsored children..”
Here are some of the findings from the study on child sponsorships;
- Increased the probability of secondary school completion by 12–18%
- Increased adult employment by 6.5%
- Increased the probability of being a community leader
- Increased monthly income by approximately 20%
- Formerly sponsored children are more likely to live in homes with electricity and with higher quality floors and roofs
