Sponsor a Child - Guatemala

After some recommendations.

I have searched through a number of charities and am just trying to narrow down who to go with, with some recommendations. I specifically want to sponsor a child in Guatemala.

I of course want the majority of money to go to the child/village but am realistic in the need for admin costs.

I am not so fond of the big organisations like Savethechildren but am interested in people's opinions and experiences with some of the charities out there.

Touch my bum :money:
Tesco - £1000 , Carpet - £20, Barclaycard - £50, HSBC - £50 + Car - £1700
SAVED =£0
Debts - £2850

  • Hi, I currently sponsor a child in Guatemala through a Christian charity and am convinced that the majority of the money goes directly to support her education and physical needs. The name of the charity is - Adopt a child .....based in Inverness.
    I hope this helps!
