Robert  Image

Robert ’s story

I live in Liberia with my mom and 7 siblings. My father left us 6 years ago because he was very ill, and has since died from his illness. My goal is to be double promoted each school year and finish secondary school. I have been working very hard to achieve these goals by studying every day. My favorite subject is spelling and I am studying hard to do better in math. My mom never had the opportunity to attend high school, so she really values education for me and my siblings. Unfortunately, she cannot afford to fund all of our education on her own. With your help, I can stay in school and hopefully be able to achieve my dream of finishing secondary school. Through child sponsorship, your investment in his life also helps Robert ’s family and community.

Titus’s story

I live in Liberia with my young mom because my father left us when I was born. Going to school makes me so happy! My teachers say I'm getting very good at recitation and I really enjoy playing with toys during our free time. I have learned that doctors make good salaries, so I have plans to become a doctor in my future! Unfortunately, with just my mom supporting the family, it is very difficult to fund my education.

Franklin Image

Franklin’s story

I live in Liberia with my older sister who has done an amazing job taking care of me in place of my mom who left us over 7 years ago. My sister has impacted my life very positively, especially by encouraging me to go to school. In school, I have worked hard to achieve an 89% average. My favorite subject is English because I love to be creative and write stories. Unfortunately, even though my sister works hard to support us, we are unable to afford my education. As you can tell, I love school and I do not want to drop out. With your help, I can continue going to school and hopefully live a life out of poverty one day. Through child sponsorship, your investment in his life also helps Franklin’s family and community.

Zoryeah Image

Zoryeah’s story

I live in Liberia with my grandparent because, sadly, my father decided he did not want to care for me. I am currently in grade 5 and so happy to be a student. My favourite subject is math and I am so very proud to report that my teachers say I am highly innovative! I work very hard to do well in school and currently have a 90% average. Unfortunately, due to financial difficulties, I will have to drop out of school soon. With your kind support, I would be able to continue my studies and one day graduate to become a contributing member of the community. It would be thrilling to have my basic needs met and finally live a life beyond poverty. Through child sponsorship, your investment in his life also helps Zoryeah’s family and community.

WHAT DOES CHILD SPONSORSHIP MEAN?

Support Image

Support

Sponsorship offers meaningful intervention that raises a child’s self-esteem and aspirations, creating lasting educational and economic opportunities that positively alter the outcome of a child’s life

Quality Education Image

Quality Education

Enhance the quality of education for children by covering school related expenses such as tuition fees, uniforms, shoes, textbooks, as well as afterschool tutoring support. Paying for these school supplies and resources reduces inequality in accessing education and empowers children when they attend school

Wellness Image

Wellness

Provide children with nutritional food to maintain mental, social, and emotional wellbeing. Ensuring healthy diets strengthens educational outcomes within the classroom and decreases absenteeism

Connection Image

Connection

Offer social support by creating a meaningful connection with your child. Learn about your child, their community, and educational goals to boost their confidence and drive. Children are also connected with a local network of supports to assist them through their journey, including staff, alumni, and other mentors.
