Arlene is a cheerful girl who loves to play soccer with her friends. She is doing well in school and especially enjoys working with numbers in her math class. When she grows up, Arlene hopes to become a teacher to pass down her passion for learning to the next generation.
Arlene is no stranger to poverty. Her parents aren’t able to find consistent jobs, so the family constantly struggles to make ends meet. Arlene’s parents want her to succeed, but they can’t even afford to provide for her most basic needs, much less pay for school fees. Through your sponsorship, Arlene will receive things like nutritious meals and educational assistance.

Continue giving monthly or annually to meet your child's needs and write letters to stay in touch
Why sponsor a child?
“Child sponsorship is very rewarding because you know you're making a difference for that child. But the blessing you will receive far surpasses even the difference you make in the children's lives. You will see God at work!”
— Lita, Kentucky
“Sponsoring two little girls from Guatemala has changed the way I see life. As Christ-followers, we are called to love God and love others. I believe that we love God through loving others, and child sponsorship gives us the opportunity to do that.”
— Kayla, Virginia
“I believe child sponsorship is a way to touch the future. It's important to invest in the next generation, both here and around the world.”
— Margaret, California
