Sponsor A Child

Name: Emeldah

Country: Zambia

Birthday: 05/06/2013

Emeldah is a charming young girl from a needy family living in Tigwilizane Community Association in Zambia. She lives with her parents and one brother, with no sisters. The family earns a living through odd jobs and subsistence farming. They sell any surplus crops to raise money for basic needs, but their annual income is less than $250, making it difficult to provide for their essential needs. This financial hardship has led them to seek sponsorship for Emeldah.They live in a small, one-room house made of bricks with an iron sheet roof. The family fetches water from a borehole, cooks using firewood, and relies on candles for lighting. Emeldah is in primary school and is in good health. In her free time, Emeldah enjoys playing skipping and ball games with her friends. Your kind and generous support through sponsorship will help transform Emeldah’s life ensuring she receives an education, better living conditions, and a brighter future.

Ending child poverty begins with Emeldah. It’s easy. It’s impactful.
