Yes! NuDay has seen firsthand the effects that sponsorship has on a child. NuDay has found that sponsorships: Help children relax & focus on childhood Bring smiles to the faces of kids and their families Improve education opportunities (when available) Secure basic needs such as food and clothing Long term sponsorships through NuDay have transformed the lives of many children by securing their education and allowing them to pursue their dreams of college to build their futures. Our goal is simple: to let kids be kids. Independent research has also confirmed that individual sponsorship can be transformational by securing education and basic needs for vulnerable children.

NuDay offers a variety of sponsorship options. The most popular options are Orphan Sponsorship and Student Sponsorship. Orphan Sponsorship sponsors a child who has lost one or both parents, and costs $50 per month. Student Sponsorship supports a student in pursuing their advanced studies, and costs $50 per month. NuDay also facilitates Medical Sponsorships, which vary in cost, depending on the case.

The best organization to sponsor through depends on your priorities and aims. There are many organizations that offer sponsorship, all of which you can research on Charity Navigator. NuDay's vision is to secure dignified and empowered aid so that vulnerable children, their families, and their communities can focus on building independent futures. We see all individuals as capable of creating their own empowered futures, and are simply helping to encourage through closing the gap and supporting vulnerabilities along the way. This also means that we want sponsors to feel connected to their sponsored children, so we provide detailed information and videos on a regular basis. If this resonates with you, then you're likely to agree that NuDay will be the best organization for you to sponsor through.

Sponsorship is a long-term commitment; however, the length of each sponsorship depends on the needs of the individual and the circumstances on the ground. NuDay does our best to maintain long sponsorships in order to secure stability for the sponsored individual and for you, as the sponsor! In a few cases, sponsorship may simply be needed for the short term - such as a medical operation that is urgently required. Working in areas undergoing humanitarian conflict also means being flexible in responding to emergencies on the ground. Displacements may occur and contact may be lost; in this case, NuDay's staff attempts to locate the family and will also let you know about the situation. We also ask for your patience during emergencies when you may experience delays in correspondence. If circumstances change and your child no longer needs sponsorship, we’ll notify you and send you a new child to begin sponsoring.

Every individual that is sponsored through NuDay is real, and their vulnerabilities and needs have been validated and confirmed by our local teams. We do our best to facilitate interactions between you and your sponsored individual, and provide video updates to establish a more personal relationship.
