Children Needing Sponsors
Children in this area of rural Kalifi County generally live in small one room mud and stick houses without electricity or water. There are very few jobs in the area and most families try to subsist on the few crops they are able to plant and harvest.
We are looking for sponsors who will provide a child with reliable, ongoing support. All support is appreciated. Sponsorship is $35 a month. This can be paid monthly, quarterly, biannually or yearly. For consistency in a child’s life, we encourage you to commit to sponsoring a child for at least a year. Click on the child’s name or image below to start the sponsorship process.
