Jonathan is a friendly young boy who loves trying new things. That’s why he enjoys learning about the world in his science class at school. In his free time, Jonathan can be found outside playing soccer with all of his friends. When Jonathan grows up, he wants to play professional soccer.
Unfortunately, Jonathan is no stranger to extreme poverty. His father does land work, while his mother sells clothes for a living. Despite their best efforts, both their wages are not nearly enough. As a result, they struggle to give Jonathan everything he needs.

How Sponsorship Works

Receive your welcome packet in the mail with more info on your child
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
