Engaging the public in critical and justice-oriented global actions: Moving beyond child sponsorship

KMF 2020

This research study constructs a critique of child sponsorship (CS), exploring alternative actions that ‘move beyond CS’ and are grounded in conceptualizations of justice, solidarity, ethical relationships, and global citizenship education. The research engages in interviews with academic researchers, directors and coordinators of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and independent consultants and global fund raising managers. Through analysis of these interviews, the aim is to present educational materials for the general public and K-16 educational institutions (schools and universities) through a website entitled, Your Global Action Tackle Box: Moving Beyond Child Sponsorship
