Sponsor A Child

Name: Marlon

Country: Mozambique

Birthday: 03/17/2017

Nelson is a young boy who lives in a community located on the outskirts of Maputo city, the capital of Mozambique, in southern Africa. The region is characterized by a hot and dry weather almost all year round. He lives only with his mom because she is single. Nelson and his family live in a self-built house with bare block walls, tin roof and a rough concrete floor. They have access to running water and electricity utilities, but above all, the living circumstance is one of dire poverty. He is attending elementary school and aspires to contribute to society by being a police officer in the future. It turns out that the mother is an unemployed woman who does odd jobs in order to get by. This boy and his family have lack of money and face many problems to get food. The family income is very low. Nelson participates in the program where he will receive support in the areas of health, education, nutrition and recreation. We are hopeful that your sponsorship will enable this child to have adequate access to basic essentials and have a good future.

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