Community Sponsorship

It starts with one community. And you.

How do you begin to pull a nation out of poverty? By turning the vicious cycle of poverty into a virtuous cycle of prosperity. And it starts with just one community.

One community with empowered women and girls, fresh clean water, efficient health clinics, and thriving community markets.

And for as little as $35 per month, you can follow one community as it develops the tools and learns the skills to grow into self-sufficiency. And through quarterly updates you will get to know the children and families in your community and see exactly what your contribution is helping to achieve.
