If the family still needs our help then we often register a younger brother or sister. There are also other reasons why a Foster Child ceases to be registered. For instance, the family might move out of our area of jurisdiction. Plan also aims to 'phase out' of communities once goals have been reached and it is agreed that the community is self-sufficient and no longer has a need for Plan's helping hand. On average a Foster Child is registered with us for seven years.
Extra contributions are always welcome.
These are often used for the Children's Fund, for children from a village to help administer projects they have chosen themselves. You can, of course, adopt more than one Foster Child. Sponsorship also creates a link through which our supporters, the sponsors of children, can be directly involved with our work. Through this link with a child and their family our sponsors can see development in action and the impact that we are making, sharing in our successes and failures. This openness makes PLAN s work directly accountable to its supporters.
