SPONSORING A CHILD HELPS IN SEVERAL WAYS
1. Access to Education
Sponsoring a child often includes covering school fees, providing school supplies, and offering access to educational programs. This ensures the child can attend school regularly, receive a quality education, and have the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty through learning.

Sponsoring a child can provide emotional and psychological support through mentorship programs, counseling services, and community engagement activities. This support helps build the child’s self-esteem, resilience, and confidence, empowering them to overcome challenges and pursue their dreams.
