Leonardo is an extroverted and creative boy who has a passion for making piñatas. He enjoys going to school each day, and his favorite subject is language arts, where he excels at reading and writing. One day, Leonardo hopes to become a police officer so he can help keep his community safe.
Leonardo has lived in poverty his entire life. His mother sells sweets in a local market, and his father works in construction, but their combined income is not enough to meet the family’s daily needs. Most days, they struggle to provide Leonardo with his basic necessities. Sponsorship will provide Leonardo with things like nutritious meals and a quality education.

How Sponsorship Works

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
