Sponsor a Child

For only $30/month you can sponsor one of these children and make a life long impact on their whole family. Our child sponsorship opportunity is unique in that while supporting a child's education and nutritional needs, part of the sponsorship goes to empowering their parent to build a consistent source of income, so that they can meet the needs of their children in the long-term. As a child sponsor, you will receive quarterly updates and messages so that you can follow the family on their journey.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or learning more, please complete the contact form below.
