The ingredients of happiness for a child are,
For a child, the ingredients of happiness are simple yet invaluable: playtime, school, friends and family. But poverty and misfortune have poisoned the fountain of youth for millions of children worldwide.
Millions of children worldwide have had to bear the weight of adult responsibilities far too early – becoming the primary caregivers or breadwinners. To support their families or siblings left in their care, children are rummaging through roadside garbage for a meagre wage. This is no future for any child.
With your help, the proper education and opportunities become more accessible – allowing them to shape their futures with brighter prospects. Not only that but all the essentials you would expect will be provided – food, shelter and healthcare – giving children back their security and happiness.
Here at HCI, we’re working hard to provide much-needed support for those affected by poverty, violence and exploitation, so these kids can reclaim their childhoods until they’re ready for the responsibilities of adulthood.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
HCI’s Child Sponsorship Program (CSP) supports the livelihoods of orphans and children in need. We recognize that millions of children around the world are out of school, engaged in child labor, child traffic, child abuse and are exploited due to issues of poverty and inequality. Our CSP ensures that children can attend school, get quality education, live in safe and secure homes, eat healthy meals, and have opportunities to realize their dreams.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
We work with our local team on the ground to identify children who are most in need. The selection criteria we follow is as follows:
- The child is of school age.
- The child must belong to a low-income family.
- The child must be attending school unless she/he has a disability and cannot attend school.
- The child must not be receiving aid from another NGO.
- Preference is given to girls.
Priority is given to orphan children who are living on the streets/slums, are engaged in child labor, and are at an increased risk of exploitation, trafficking, and domestic violence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
We calculate the monthly cost based on the average living expense for a family. Our team on the ground ensures that the monthly minimum amount is able to take care of a child’s daily food, shelter, clothing, health care, and school fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
If the donor decides to stop the CSP donation, the child is removed from the sponsorship of the donor and made available to other donors who would like to sponsor the child. If we cannot find another donor to take on the sponsorship, we try our best to cover the sponsorship for at least one year using our Zakat funds.
If a monthly donation is not processed for any technical reason (e.g. credit card expiry), HCI continues to deliver the funds to the child while the donor care team resolves the issue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
Our CSP is built around trying to establish a strong connection between the donor and the sponsored child. However, any communication with the child would have to go through HCI. This is to ensure that we stay true to our policies of child protection and maintaining the privacy, safety, and security of the child.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
Yes, It is possible to give gifts to your sponsored child(ren). At the moment, it is only possible to give cash gifts. During special occasions like Eid, these cash gifts bring joy and happy moments for the child and their entire family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
Yes, our CSP qualifies as one of the Zakat eligible categories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
The security and privacy of the children is HCI’s utmost priority. At the moment we cannot facilitate visits to the child’s home, as our child security procedures indicate that the address of the child remains confidential. Having said that, we can definitely try our best to facilitate a video call with the child. We ask that the donors keep in mind the time difference as well as internet connection limitations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
On an annual basis, HCI commits to providing you with most of following reporting:
- Annual report of the child (click here for an example report).
- School report card of the child.
- Updated photo of the child.
- Drawing/letter from the child to you.
- A video of the child saying thank you.
Our CSP team will communicate with you should any of this reporting not be available for any reason.
In addition to this, you may contact our CSP team at any time to ask for an update. We will try our best to provide you with answers to any question you may have.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
As soon as you make the first payment to confirm your sponsorship, HCI will reach out to the field team to provide details of the child. We expect to share these details (name, date of birth, country, and school address) with you within two weeks. Within a month, we then share with you a detailed profile of the child, which will include the child’s photo and financial condition.
While we try our best to commit to the above mentioned timelines, we do acknowledge that there may be unexpected delays. Oftentimes, the children live in very remote areas or in conflict zones. With added travel restrictions due to COVID, it could take longer than expected to connect with the child and obtain the required information. Should there be any delays, our CSP team will communicate with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
Yes, you can donate for the CSP in general. General funds are used to sponsor more children, and/or continue the sponsorship of children whose donors may have stopped donating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
Yes, you can give more than the required monthly amount. Oftentimes, donors will also choose to give eid gifts in cash to children.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
HCI encourages donors to commit to a one year sponsorship. This will ensure that the child attends school for at least one year, and during this time, the family may have also saved enough to allow the child to continue schooling for another year.

HCI has a dedicated CSP team that takes care of your questions/concerns. The best way to get in touch with the CSP team is to email us at info@humanconcern.org.
