You can help change the lives of the children living at the Baan Tharn Namchai and Hands Across the Water orphanages by donating monthly.

The ongoing cost of supporting each child is $100 AUD per month, or $30 AUD per month for the visiting, non-residential children. And just like all donations, every cent of the sponsorship goes directly to the children: not one cent is spent on administration.

Four easy steps to sponsor a child

Step 1 » Download the sponsorship presentation and read the Frequently Asked Questions so you are fully informed about our sponsorship program.

Step 2 » Complete the online Child Sponsorship Form or download a copy and email it to team@handsacrossthewater.com.au 

Step 3 » Contact your bank to organise a monthly direct debit from your account to the Hands Across the Water account. The HATW bank details are:

HSBC Bank | BSB: 342011 | Account: 332129001 | Name: Hands Across the Water Australia

Step 4 » Let us know by email at team@handsacrossthewater.com.au that you have set up the direct debit. Once we confirm that the debits are occurring you will receive, by email, information about the children you are sponsoring at Baan Tharn Namchai. You will receive quarterly sponsor’s newsletters from Peter and updates on the progress of the children.

Thank you for your kind support. We know you will receive a great deal of pleasure seeing your gift make a real difference in the lives of the beautiful children at Baan Tharn Namchai and Hands Across the Water. Remember to tell your family and friends about the sponsorship program and check the Hands Across the Water website regularly for news and updates.
