Sahil is a brave and energetic boy who loves to play games with his group of friends. Although he dreams of attending school, his family?s circumstances have prevented him from attending so far. In the future, Sahil hopes to become a professional cricket player. Sahil?s lives in an impoverished community of snake charmers. As these sideshow acts are no longer as popular, his parents must struggle to find daily labor jobs and they face discrimination because of their low caste. To provide for their family, they must often resort to begging. Through sponsorship, Sahil will have access to things like healthy food and educational assistance.

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
