What is the cost of fostering a child?
To assist foster parents to defray the costs of supporting a foster child, MSF provides a monthly allowance for every foster child under your care.
The allowance will help to defray the expenses of caring for the foster child, such as for food, clothing, education, tuition, transport. The allowances provided are as follows:
Age Group | Normal development | With special needs/medical needs |
|---|---|---|
Young children (0 to 12 years old) | $1,100 | $1,500 |
Teenagers (13 years old and above) | $1,300 | $1,800 |
Please refer to this MSF Fostering webpage for more information on the support for foster parents.
