History

In 1956, Harry and Bertha Holt revolutionized the definition of family when they adopted eight children in the wake of the Korean War. They pioneered international adoption, and founded Holt International. But long before that, they were child sponsors - driven by their compassion, generosity and desire to do what they could to make the world a better place.


Program accomplishments

In 2021, Holt sponsors and donors helped:

Improve the lives of 1,036,117 children, family members and other individuals around the world

Unite 274 children with adoptive families through international or in-country adoption

Care for 3,529 children in orphanages, group homes or foster families

Keep 30,489 children in the loving care of their birth families

Provide post adoption services for 2,277 adoptees and families


Needs

When you sponsor a child through Holt, your monthly gifts help provide everything a child needs to reach their potential in life - from food, shelter and education to the nurturing care of a devoted family or caregiver.

Over time, you may also build a relationship with your sponsored child by corresponding through our Holt Sponsor Center. Children may send letters or artwork to share about their lives and express their gratitude. Here is a letter one child wrote for their sponsor in the U.S.

Help Care for a Child in Need! You can help provide everything a child needs to thrive - from food, safe shelter and education to the nurturing care of a devoted family or caregiver!
