CHI is committed to making sure orphans are treated with dignity, care and respect, and securing the safety and privacy of all children in the Orphan Sponsorship program is a top priority.

Q: How does Children’s Hope protect the privacy, security and dignity of sponsored children?

CHI knows that most of its sponsors truly care about children, but it has a duty to safeguard sponsored children from individuals who might seek to harm or exploit them.

Some established precautions include:

• Limiting the release of personal information, such as last names, community names and specific locations.
• Prohibiting sponsors from contacting their sponsored child directly or in any way other than the manner described in this handbook.
• Requiring sponsors to follow CHI’s policies for written correspondence as described in this handbook.
• Prohibiting downloads, copies, or other replication of photos from www.childrenshope.net without advance written permission from CHI.
