Does Global Family match me with a student?
As a sponsor, you will receive reports twice a year that highlight individual students and their stories, in addition to updates on the program and country you're sponsoring. You will not be matched with one student. Matching sponsor and student requires significant administrative time and money, both of which are better used in assisting students in pursuing their education.
