Our sponsors encourage children to reach their dreams

Boy reading letter

Letter writing can give a sponsored child confidence to succeed

We believe children can change their future for the better if they’re given life’s essentials, have access to education and are empowered to learn their rights and speak up to protect them. Our generous sponsors make this possible for so many children with their donations and encouragement through letter writing.

It’s like the video below, which encourages children to “never give up,” “keep pushing,” “believe in yourself,” many of our donors exchange letters with their sponsored children encouraging them to reach their goals and dream big.

To learn more about sponsorship and writing to your sponsored child, visit our sponsorship page today, and watch the video below for some examples of type of encouragement all children deserve.
