Shirat is a happy girl who enjoys playing games with her friends. She is a good student and her favorite class is English. When she grows up, Shirat dreams of becoming an accountant.
Shirat has lived in poverty her entire life. Even though both her parents work odd jobs around the community, they struggle to make ends meet. Most days, they can’t afford to provide Shirat or her brothers with their basic necessities. Your sponsorship will now provide Shirat with essentials like nutritious meals and a quality education.

How Sponsorship Works

Receive your welcome packet in the mail with more info on your child
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
