cases all of these.

There are a distinct differences in
how programs are operated. Some
organizations have actual family
homes where the children without
parental care are housed, clothed,
fed, educated, and nurtured,
while others distribute funds to
parents, and others again sign up
all the children in the catchment
area of a community development
project such as a medical centre
to be sponsored children.
5. After choosing a child to sponsor, the
charitable organization that manages
the sponsorship typically sends
information about the child to the
sponsor. These organizations direct
money to, and manage
communication between sponsored
children and their sponsors,
including translating letters, and in
some cases ensuring that the
communications are appropriate.
6. How sponsorship funds are used ?
Some major child sponsorship organizations
use the funds given for community
development and do not claim any direct
benefit to the child.
Others use the funds directly for the child
and their immediate community or family,
others again are somewhere in between, with
the child benefiting from a wider community
project such as a school or medical centre.
