Swiss Board of Aid
Sponsorship for a child
Thank you for your interest in a sponsorship!
With a sponsorship, you can give a child who cannot grow up within its biological family a chance to live in a safe and loving family, get educated and, if necessary, receive medical care!
The children live with members of the Swiss Board of Aid in East London in South Africa in a safe and loving family environment of the iThemba Family. Sponsorships and donations make it possible for the Swiss Board of Aid to offer these children in need a home and school education. With a sponsorship you can make this possible for long term. Most of the contributions are used to pay for school fees as all South African schools charge school fees. It is important for us that the children receive a good school education in a safe learning environment. This is the only way to give them a good chance to become independent, young adults.
The children
We would like to introduce our children but we also have to respect the children's privacy and the legal requirements of their court orders. You are welcome to contact us personally if you are interested in sponsoring a child but would like to receive more information.

Girl
born 2012
With her fighting spirit and confident personality, she survived as a baby like a miracle. However, she has a cerebral palsy, a fetal alcohol syndrome and a developmental delay. Going to school gives her the ability to become an independent adult.

Girl
born 2007
The shy, very helpful and lovely half-orphan girl had experienced various traumas in her young age. A loving home and a safe learning environment gives her a chance to grow into a successful young woman. She was able to be reunited with her family end of 2021.
All the best!
Child in
temporary safe care
This child was abruptly taken away from his family by the authorities due to neglect, illness, violence, or the like. Now he/she needs lots of love and care to start healing from the traumatic past and start trusting again.

Junge

The energetic and intelligent boy cannot remember how it is to have a mother. Without being separated from his sister, he can now grow up in a safe and structured environment and reach his full potential. He was able to be reunited with his family end of 2021.
