Any child sponsor programs NOT affiliated with religion?

Question

I'd like to sponsor a child, but I'd never give money to an organization that spent even a penny on anything evangelistic. The largest one I know of, World Vision, is an organization that spreads Christian dogma to the children.

Are there any secular foundations?

Answer 1

From what I've found, I think that Save the Children is secular.  At least they don't have anything that says they're religious.

Edit: I couldn't find anything on their site or their Wikipedia saying that they're religious

Answer 2

Children International  http://www.children.org

Kenya Kids International  http://www.galileeschool.org

Tibet Aid  http://www.tibetaid.org/

Orphan Sponsorship International  http://www.orphansponsorship.org/

this last one is great because there's a page where you can see exactly what they spend your money on

Answer 3

I know what you mean.

Foster Parents Plan is secular.

There's also a micro-investment organization called Kiva (kiva,org) that you might want to look into.

BTW, Save the Children is a religious organization.

Answer 4

I could be wrong, but I dont think Big Bro Big Sis is religiously affliated.  They accept monetary donations just as much as they do time.
