Ratib is a young and friendly boy who enjoys playing football with all his friends. His favorite subject in school is art, where he is learning to draw pictures. Ratib dreams of becoming a pilot when he grows up to fly different kinds of planes and travel around, up in the sky, while earning an income for his family.
Ratib has grown up with many obstacles to overcome. He currently lives with his mother and his father. His parents care for the children, but do not have permanent jobs. At this time, their income is not enough to consistently provide Ratib with what he needs. Sponsorship will provide Ratib with things like nutritious meals and a quality education to help fulfill his dream of becoming a pilot.

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
