Community Sponsors

Thank you For your Support

Thank you for supporting children and some of the most uniquely challenged communities around the world. Together, we are improving access to quality education, clean water, health care, and child protection to ensure that children and families living in these communities can thrive.

Sustainable, community-led change is at the heart of everything we do. While we invest in local infrastructure – like schools, clinics, roads and wells – above all we invest in people, ensuring that they have the capacity to lead their own development, today and for generations to come.

Community Sponsorship supports:

Kita, Mali Volta, Ghana Nga, Laos Hatibandha, Bangladesh

Visit Hatibandha

This transformative project focuses on a journey of hope, from poverty to development, through the eyes of girls and their families whose lives are being changed for the better because of you. Together we are working to provide education, maternal and child health and gender equality to this remote community.

Visit Hatibandha

Visit Nga

Your ongoing commitment is changing lives of children and families of Nga as they gain the tools and knowledge they need to carve out a future of hope and possibility. A promising journey lies ahead for the people of Nga, and, with your support, they are receiving quality education and literacy, access to health and water and gender equality.

Visit Nga

Visit Volta

Together we are changing lives in the West African country of Ghana. Volta is a nation rich in history, culture and natural resources. But despite that, more than 50% of Ghana’s citizens live in poverty. But thanks to you we are changing lives for the children of Volta by improving health care and education opportunities, boosting livelihoods and bringing awareness on the importance of gender equality.

Visit Volta

Visit Kita

With your help, the people of Kita are gaining life-changing opportunities in one of the most undeveloped communities in West Africa. Children are benefitting from new school builds and educational enhancements, nutritional programs and clean water sources. Pregnant women and new mothers are gaining vital medical information and services, and taking part in loans and savings programs to gain more income and independence. Meanwhile, local men are becoming engaged in – and supportive of – rights-based issues like equal access to care. Collectively, this program is helping the families of Kita improve their own lives.
