Your relationship with the child
Each and every child is very proud to hear that sponsors from all over the world are ready to support them on the way to a bright and dignified future!
If you wish, you can visit the child you sponsor once a month, or call them (to schedule the visit or the call). Therefore, you have the possibility to develop a sustained relationship. Without becoming a substitutional parental figure, you embody a positive role model and participate in TARA’s work by restoring the trust of the child in adults surrounding him.
Once you become a sponsor, you will have access to the Donor Space : a dedicated platform where you will find news, academic results and pictures, as well as two letters or drawings per year from your sponsored child. In fact, the youngest children in TARA Tots develop fine arts before they can write, and are always excited to share their creations with the people who care for them. TARA Girls and TARA Boys are more interested in writing letters to tell you about their lives).
If you choose to sponsor a home, you will have access to the news, school results, pictures and letters of all the children who live in that home.
Our sponsors usually support us over the long term, which allows them to measure the sustained impact of TARA, the progress of the children and their empowerment.
They trust us
When you sponsor a child in Delhi at TARA, you make a long lasting impact and participate in a profound social change in India. You give them all the keys to change and to impact the life of their family and community. Once independent and empowered, the children who grew up in TARA will indeed be able to transmit their values and skills, thus contributing to fighting poverty and illiteracy in India in the long run.
When you sponsor a child, you give them new hope and a future they deserves. You participate in building a fairer society in India by choosing to act against social inequalities and to build a generation of educated, independent and responsible citizens.
One day, these children who mostly came to TARA with haggard looks, emotionally traumatized or suffering from severe malnutrition, will stand on their own feet. When they leave TARA, the frightened children have given way to shooting stars ready for a galaxy of possibilities.
This is the story we want to share with you when you sponsor a child.
