In Ethiopia...
every 15 seconds, a child becomes an orphan,
leaving 1 of every 10 children without parents.
SPONSOR A CHILD...
Truly, it is a life of poverty beyond what we can grasp...
The children in our program are the "poorest of the poor" in our project area. Due to the high rate of AIDS in the region, there are unending numbers of children and orphans who are suffering. Many of our children are living with extended family or neighbors, most often widowed women, becoming an added stress to an already impoverished household.
Prior to sponsorship, the majority of our children could not attend school regularly due to their obligation to work to financially assist their family with daily needs. As they weighed the choice of their education to that of hunger, they rarely had the comforts of both.
For only $25 a month (the cost of dinner & a movie), you can provide a child the opportunity to attend school and provide them and their family with the basics of life such as food, clothing & health needs. By knowing that someone cares enough to support them with their daily struggles, each child can then focus on their education and future of possibilities.
We envision the sponsor/beneficiary match as a relationship that will make an invaluable difference in the lives of all those involved, for perhaps a lifetime. Through sponsorship, your child is gifted with the opportunity to continue to live within their extended family, community and country, affording them positive opportunities to improve their lives. As important, it provides sponsor families a priceless way of making a real difference in the life of someone living in a world so less fortunate than ours.
Sponsors will receive a photo and profile of their child, as well as personal correspondence and reports on the child's progress during the year.
Most valuable... you will receive the gift of friendship from a very deserving child.
Your immediate response to help and change my hopeless life to a better one some years ago offered me a great opportunity and revived my self confidence.

Before this opportunity, I was thinking of myself as useless and nothing.

By studying hard and joining a university, I have a dream to support children like me in the future. I learned this from you.
