== Child sponsorship == [[Child sponsorship]] is one of ActionAid's primary sources of income. Donors sponsor an individual child<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://sofii.org/case-study/actionaids-welcome-to-child-sponsorship-package|title=ActionAid: the welcome to child sponsorship package}}</ref> from a community in a developing country and receive regular updates about the child's progress and development. Sponsorship funds support the child's whole community, "so children have a healthy and safe place to live and grow up." This support takes the form of providing clean water, healthcare, agricultural programmes, education centres in areas where schools are not available, and community income generation schemes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.actionaid.org.uk/blog/news/2016/07/04/six-things-you-should-know-about-sponsoring-a-child|title=Six things you should know about sponsoring a child|website=ActionAid UK}}</ref> In 2018, ActionAid USA stopped using the child sponsorship method of fundraising, and switched to a monthly giving program.
