Daniela is a curious young girl with a love of learning about the world around her. In her free time, she enjoys playing outside and observing God?s beautiful creation. Although Daniela just started school, she already loves learning and dreams of one day using her education to become a successful doctor in her community. Daniela has had the blessing of growing up in a Christian home, as both of her parents are heavily involved in ministry. However, they earn meager salaries and do not make enough money to pay for her school fees or supplies. Sponsorship gives Daniela access to things like a quality education, basic medical care, and nutritious meals.

About India
India is a nation that is little more than one-third the size of the United States with a population nearly four times larger. India contains diverse landscape including sprawling deserts, the soaring Himalayan peaks, and tropical coastlines.
Rich in cultural heritage and historical significance, India has become a major economic force in the world. In spite of its recent economic boom, income inequality continues to plague society with almost 58 percent of Indians living on less than three U.S. dollars per day. Several large urban centers contain some of the world’s densest slums where people struggle with limited access to clean water, sanitation, and medical care.
Although education remains a top priority for families, many public schools are overcrowded and understaffed, and parents struggle to afford school fees and supplies.
COUNTRY STATS
- Population: 1.25 billion
- Religion: Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism
- Orphans: 30 million
- People living with HIV/AIDS: 2.1 million

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
