Benjamin is known as a very smart boy by his classmates and friends. Needless to say, he does very well at in school and especially likes his reading class. One day, Benjamin dreams of using his education to become a police officer in his community. Benjamin is no stranger to poverty, living in an impoverished village in Uganda. His father works tirelessly, but he earns very little and often cannot afford school fees, supplies, or even a sufficient amount of food for his four children. Through sponsorship, Benjamin will receive things like nutritious meals, clothing, basic medical care, and a continuing education.

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
