Child Like Me is designed specially for sponsors who cannot decide on a child to sponsor. You (the sponsor) can have your photo uploaded on our website and our facial recognition technology will find 2 children (1 boy and 1 girl) that looks best like you from our pool of database of children waiting to be sponsored.
2020 was a difficult year for all of us.
But, what if, you made it count when you journey with a child-in-need that looks like you?
Around 663 million children around the world live in the toughest places to be children.
But imagine if a child could live in a world where she is fearless, free to play, to dream and to experience the magic of life’s many firsts!
Firsts as simple as her first sip of clean water, her first day at school–safe and equipped with adequate materials–to the first time she plays as a child should, just like you did.
Imagine a world where every child has access to the many firsts you had– a world that can be made possible with sponsorship!
Child Like Me is sponsorship made more fun!
Upload your photo and our system will match a child that looks like you.
