Riyaj is an active and talkative young boy who loves to play outside with his friends in his free time. He is doing a good job in school and particularly likes to work with numbers in his math class. With dreams to travel the world, Riyaj hopes to one day become a pilot. Riyaj is no stranger to poverty. His father works odd jobs throughout town, but his best efforts often fall short and he is unable to afford basic necessities for his family. Riyaj's mother stays at home to take care of the children and cannot help financially. Through sponsorship, Riyaj will receive things like durable clothing and educational assistance.

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
