Sponsors are the heart and soul of Big Heart!

Becoming a sponsor at Big Heart means this:

You will make a monthly donation to cover the cost of tuition, uniform, and other fees for a specific child in Guatemala to complete their elementary education.

You, as a sponsor, will communicate directly with your recipient child through our Recipient Forum page. Once you select a child, a forum folder in which you can post messages back and forth will be created. This communication enables you to build a close and endearing relationship with your recipient child. Please do not share personal information such as email addresses using this forum.

Each prospective sponsor should review the current children who are available for sponsorship below. Then, email us at at sponsor@bighearthumanitarian.org with the name of the child you would like to sponsor. Within 48 hours we will contact you with information on how to begin sponsoring.
