Be the Change, Transform Lives, Sponsor a Child
with
Rehmat Educational Foundation
Welcome to the Rehmat Educational Foundation's Child Sponsorship Program, where your generosity sparks hope and transforms lives. Our initiative delivers education, vocational training, and nutritional support to underprivileged children, including street children and those trapped in child labour within deprived areas of Pakistan. By empowering these young individuals, we enable them to break free from the chains of poverty. Join us on this transformative journey. Your support fuels empowerment, provides crucial resources, and builds brighter futures for children in need. Together, we can create opportunities and inspire lasting change.
Sign Up
Once you sign up to be a child sponsor, you will be allocated a child who has been identified to be in need of support by Rehmat School Staff in Ahmad Pur East, Pakistan.
You will receive information about the child, as well as their photograph.
Support
Your monthly donation of £25 will secure the child’s education, vocational training, nutritional, and healthcare needs.
We will provide them with books, school materials, uniforms, and personalised support, to ensure that the child stays in school and progresses with their learning.
Correspond
You will receive an annual progress and overall wellbeing report.
You will have the opportunity to correspond with the child via the Child Sponsorship Coordinator, and to visit them in Pakistan, if this is something you wish to do.

Child sponsorship is a commitment to make regular donations to support the education, healthcare, and well-being of a child in need through the Rehmat Educational Foundation.
Your sponsorship provides a child with access to quality education, vocational training, nutritious meals, healthcare, and essential supplies, improving their overall well-being and future prospects.
The cost to sponsor a child is £25 per month, this contribution covers the child's education, meals, and other essential needs.
No, the child you sponsor will, in most cases, have a family of their own. Sponsorship provides financial support or resources without legal parental rights or responsibilities.
Yes, you can exchange letters and photos with your sponsored child. This interaction encourages and motivates the child and allows you to build a personal connection. You are welcome to email your sponsored child, via the Child Sponsorship Coordinator, but being a sponsor does not oblige you to communicate directly with the child.
If sending correspondence, here are some general guidelines:
- Keep it short and simple. In most cases the email will be read or translated by someone whose first language is not English.
- Please do not include your address, to keep your personal information private and confidential.
- Sending an email or attaching a scanned photo or drawing is the quickest way to communicate with your child.
Absolutely! You'll receive regular updates about your sponsored child's progress in school, achievements, and how your contribution is making a difference in their life.
Contributions to the Rehmat Educational Foundation's child sponsorship program are generally tax-deductible. Please consult your tax advisor for specific information related to your situation.
Sponsorship is typically an ongoing commitment, lasting until the child completes their education and vocational training or becomes self-sufficient. You may choose to sponsor for a specific period as well. Regular communication and transparency are the key components of our sponsorship programme, and we will keep you informed of your sponsored child’s future plans when they complete their education/training.
Unfortunately, we do not have such a provision because when some children receive extra gifts or money, others may feel left out. We believe in treating all children in the programme equally and fairly. If you'd like to donate a little extra, we encourage you to do so outside of sponsorship so we can provide gifts to all children and ensure equal treatment.
If you need to discontinue your sponsorship, you can do so at any time. We appreciate if you can inform us in advance, and we'll ensure that the child continues to receive support.
When children are not sponsored, the Rehmat Educational Foundation covers their educational needs and other expenses using its resources. Committed to providing quality education and support, the foundation ensures every child at Rehmat School can learn and grow, regardless of sponsorship status, because all children deserve a bright future.
Yes, sponsors are welcome to visit their sponsored children. Visits should be arranged through the foundation, following our guidelines to ensure the safety and privacy of the child.
The Rehmat Educational Foundation prioritises the safety and privacy of all children. We have strict safeguarding policies in place to protect their identities and personal information.
Absolutely! You can sponsor as many children as you wish, helping more children receive the education and support they need.
To begin sponsoring a child, visit our website or contact the Rehmat Educational Foundation directly. We'll guide you through the process and pair you with a child in need.
