Sponsor Families

One of the best ways to make an impact on the lives of less privileged families in Africa is sponsorship. For less than the cost of a tank of gas, you can feed an entire family for one month or meet countless other needs based on their unique circumstances.

SPONSOR A FAMILY

Each month, our liaisons in Africa identify new families who desperately need assistance. While we use donations to assist all families, your sponsorship goes directly to the family(ies) of your choice. Please note, all families are available for sponsorship. Read below to find one that touches your heart and moves you to sponsor.

My name is Musengimana Farida. I am a 49-year-old divorced mother of seven school-age children. I live with my kids in a single room on rent. I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure due to chronic depression.

I am not very educated and don’t have a stable job. To make money for daily expenses to support my family, I launder dirty clothes for people in the village. It is difficult to make ends meet, and I have trouble raising money to pay for my kids' tuition as well as other home and medical bills.

In whatever you do, don’t let selfishness or pride be your guide.

 

Be humble, and honor others more than yourselves.

 

Don’t be interested only in your own life, but care about the lives of others too.
