Chalice

Chalice is a Canadian Catholic child sponsorship organization that supports vulnerable children in developing countries to complete their education. It operates sites in Bolivia, Chile, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Kenya, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Tanzania, Ukraine, and Zambia. Chalice works with religious and lay partner organizations to provide nutrition, education, and medical care to sponsored children and their families. Through community projects, Chalice oversees the construction of schools, clinics, hospitals, orphanages, homes, and other construction projects. Sponsor sites also offer training and skill-building programs to better equip parents to gain meaningful employment, start their own small businesses, and provide better care for their families. Chalice operates on a unique Family Funding sponsorship model, where each child's parent or guardian joins a community group, opens a bank account, and receives financial literacy training to manage their child's funds. Chalice commits over 90% of its spending to supporting programs.
