When you become a Sponsor, we will send you a reference number, which is called the Sponsor Code. This is useful for processing transactions quickly. In the same way, when a child becomes a part of the Child Sponsorship programme, he or she is assigned a reference number, which is called the Child code. We will send you these when you become a sponsor. It is necessary that you mention your sponsor code and Child code in all correspondence. It helps us to sort and process correspondences quickly, especially when you send your contribution.
