Sponsor a Child
Break the chains of poverty
When you sponsor a child, you are helping severely disadvantaged children transform their future. Some Warm Heart kids come to us simply because they are from isolated mountain villages with no school. Most of our kids come from a hard past.
Warm Heart’s Children’s Homes offer more than an opportunity to go to school. They also provide a place of healing.
- These kids know hunger. They arrive malnourished and are initially protective of the food they are given.
- These kids know physical abuse. They arrive beaten and scarred.
- These kids know abandonment.
- These kids know crime. Many fathers are in jail, many mothers are in prostitution. They come from families rife with alcoholism, addiction, and theft.
But despite it all, our children are succeeding in life.
When you sponsor a child, they don’t wonder when their next meal will be or when their parent will come home.
They have the opportunity to laugh and be kids.
Without your help some of these children would never go to school and most would drop out of school after sixth grade.
When you sponsor a child, you are helping to break the cycle of poverty, crime, and substance abuse.
#LetThemBeKids
Because of Warm Heart they are graduating kindergarten, ninth grade, high school.
All of them.
They are going to college.
And that’s expensive, because with every promotion – from grade school to middle school, from middle school to high school or vocational tech, from high school to university – the costs go up and up with each step.
Today we actually have to factor success into our cost-per-child budget!
When you sponsor a child where does the money go?
Easy to become a sponsor!
It is a very easy process. We ask you to fill out a simple application so we can establish a relationship with you. It is important for us to know who is interacting with our kids.
Once your application is received we will contact you to welcome you as a sponsor. We will get you set up with a child who needs a sponsor, working with you to find a good fit.
We do encourage interaction by email with the children through our channels. We also welcome all sponsors to come for a visit if you are in Thailand to experience our Children’s Homes first hand.
Silent/Anonymous Sponsors are also welcome, we do not require any interaction with your sponsored child.

Sponsor FAQ
Alternatively, we can pair you with a new child arriving at Warm Heart or Ton Roong and introduce you.
Either way, we will ensure that you receive a profile of your child, photos and regular updates.
This will allow you to connect with your sponsored child and to establish a friendship that will carry a special meaning for you both.

We do not select our children based on any admissions criteria except need. We take only kids whose backgrounds should make them the least likely to succeed.
Our kids arrive not able to speak Thai and far, far behind in school.
But today the Warm Heart children as a team outperform the school district average GPA by 50%!
But success is costly. Middle school adds $500 to the cost of school, high school $1,000, university $5,000.
Your $25 a month helps to defray the price of success!
This ensures that all of the children living in our Children’s Homes and enrolled at Ton Roong Boarding School will benefit from your support and our programs.
Rest assured, however, that your sponsorship donation will be spent only on housing and food costs, staff, teachers, uniforms and other expenses directly related to child care.
In a place where most kids drop out after 6th grade, 100% of ours graduate from 9th grade.
Through our programs, many of our children go on to High School and even University.
Sponsor with Warm Heart and you will give a child a new life.
Your gift recipient will receive an email introducing them to Warm Heart’s family of sponsors.
