Your support enables children to thrive through providing vital assistance such as daily nutritious meals, routine medical check-ups, hygiene kits, education, school supplies, bathroom reconstruction, and parental involvement in income generation programs.

Build a Connection with Your Sponsored Child

Once you are paired with a child in our program, you will be able to track their progress and receive annual letters from the children! By coordinating with us, sponsors can also write and receive letters, and send additional gifts to the child for special occasions.
