I am shocked at how many people complain about losing one dollar a day, I see it as money well spend with endless blessings. I can easily spend thousands on materialistic stuff yet I wonder if my sponsored children are eating adequately and getting proper schooling with only 39pm but every little counts, thank you for caring. The 2 lads I signed up with were thorough and just amazingly full of energy, love their work
Interviewed at Childfund. Location is close to city. Great charity to be involved with. Interviewers were thorough, professional yet friendly.
Great people doing a great job for a great cause..good service, friendly caring staff..happy to know my money is going to such a great cause..
A great organisation that is really working hard to bring change and improve the lives of children and communities around the globe
The volunteers that hit the streets of Adelaide are friendly at first. Then they tell you no payments needed now, then boom, out comes the IPAD where you enter your card details. Which I politely told the young man, I am not comfortable with. He then started badgering me and tried forcing me to sign up. What is 1 dollar right?! If it is 1 dollar, why on earth do I need a debit order? Also, why can t I sign up myself? I don t need someone who becomes rude when I say no, to do it for me!
Got conned into losing $40 a month by being lied to that it was going to be a 1 time donation. Don't trust the people trying to sign you on in shopping centres. Supposed to be a charity not there to lie and steal from people
I've been a supporter of Childfund for a few years now. I'd been looking for a charity that was doing work with underprivileged children in Ethiopia and which Childfund was doing.
I would recommend that people don't confuse the behavior of fundraisers on the street with the charity, charities usually use third parties to find sponsors and their behavior isn't always representative of the charity and its work.
No customer service
No help if you want to cancel your payment
Fake contact numbers online
Absolutely pitiful for a charity
Scam for sure

ChildFund Australia: Giving Children in Poverty a Future
Every child deserves a childhood filled with love, care, and opportunities to grow. Unfortunately, not all children have access to these basic necessities of life. Poverty is one of the biggest challenges that millions of children around the world face every day. ChildFund Australia is an organization that aims to change this reality by providing support and resources to children living in poverty.
ChildFund Australia was founded in 1985 as part of the ChildFund International network, which operates in more than 60 countries worldwide. The organization's mission is simple yet powerful: to help vulnerable children and their families break free from poverty and build a better future for themselves.
One of the ways ChildFund Australia achieves its mission is through child sponsorship programs. By sponsoring a child through ChildFund Australia, you can make a real difference in their life by providing them with access to education, healthcare, clean water, nutritious food, and other essential services. You'll also receive regular updates on your sponsored child's progress so you can see firsthand how your donation is making an impact.
But child sponsorship isn't the only way you can support ChildFund Australia's work. The organization also runs various community development projects aimed at improving living conditions for families living in poverty-stricken areas. These projects include initiatives such as building schools and health clinics, providing vocational training for young people, promoting gender equality and women's empowerment programs.
In addition to its work overseas, ChildFund Australia also supports indigenous communities within our own country who are facing significant challenges such as poor health outcomes or limited educational opportunities.
Childfund has been working tirelessly over many years now towards achieving its goal of creating positive change for vulnerable children across the globe - but there’s still much more work left to be done! With your help we can continue making strides towards ending poverty once-and-for-all!
If you're looking for a way to make a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable children around the world or here at home then consider supporting Childfund today! Your donation will go directly towards helping those who need it most – giving them hope for brighter futures ahead!
