Founded in 1981 by lay Catholics acting on the Gospel call to walk in solidarity with the poor, Unbound challenges poverty by working with people of diverse faiths in Latin America, Asia and Africa.
When you sponsor a child or elder through Unbound, you partner with a family living in poverty and invest in personalized benefits that help them work toward self-sufficiency and fulfilling their desired potential.
Best of all, 92.6% of the money we spend goes to the people you sponsor and the programs that serve them. That’s one of the highest percentages in the industry.
Unbound inspires both sponsors and their sponsored friends to make a difference in each other’s lives … I became more active in Unbound with the letter writing, because I saw it was a profession of faith in a different way than just going to Mass on Sunday.
— Mimi Murray, Unbound sponsor, California
For just $40 a month, you can help change a child's life.
