Sponsor a Child

Please see the March 19, 2020 statement from Pearl S. Buck International for an update on the well-being of our sponsored children and their families during the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic. You can read the statement here.

Children Around the World Need Your Help

Children with special needs or whose families suffer from abject poverty live in overcrowded and under-served orphanages in Vietnam, where their only food for the day might be a little bit of rice gruel. In addition, children and youth who have HIV are discriminated against being able to go to school, get a job, or have any avenue to success.

Young boys and girls in the Philippines face the excruciating decision of whether to stay in school and get the education they need to climb out of poverty or be wooed by the enticing but false promises of the sex tourism industry to earn money to help feed and support their families.

Girls in China want to stay in school to achieve their dreams of being teachers, doctors, and more.

In Thailand, hill tribe children and their families face intense racial discrimination—the children drop out of school to help feed and support their families and are at risk of never breaking the cycle of poverty in which they are stuck.

You Can Make a Difference

Malnutrition, disease, and a lack of education are all daunting obstacles these children and their families face on a daily basis. Because of this, they dream of a better life. Without help, however, the means to achieve it lie out of reach. But for only $1.00 a day, humanitarian aid from compassionate donors like you can make a life-changing difference. This aid, facilitated by our overseas offices, provides nutrition, medical care, education, school supplies, and/or psycho-social programs that help children survive today and provides hope, skills, and health for a brighter tomorrow.
