Sharif is a kind little boy who loves to spend time on the soccer field with his friends in his free time. He enjoys going to school each day and especially likes learning about writing. Sharif hopes to become a nurse when he grows up so he can help the people in his community stay healthy.
Unfortunately, Sharif is no stranger to poverty. His father is not in his life and offers no financial support, so his mother struggles to provide for her son on her own. Unfortunately, she makes very little money and struggles to afford his daily needs. Through sponsorship, Sharif will receive essentials like nutritious meals and a quality 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
