The CCCD program, for an important part, is funded through private sponsorship. The sponsorship model has been operational since Help a Child was founded in 1968. The main characteristic of the child sponsorship program is a private donor sponsoring a child or family elsewhere in the world. Help a Child uses the ambassador model: a child of family is linked to one private sponsor through correspondence and picture, while the contribution of the sponsor is for the benefit of the whole project. The Child Ambassador Model knows a few variations: the Family Ambassador Model (FAM), CAM Plus (for the support of children with a disability) and anonymous sponsoring. 

This section contains all documentation needed to properly implement the Community Ambassador Model.
