Sponsor A Child

Shayani Sadewmi is a lively young girl living in the Monaragala District of Sri Lanka, a rural area where families face daily challenges due to limited income opportunities and a dry environment. She lives with her parents and three siblings in a simple house owned by a relative, built with brick walls, an asbestos-sheet roof, and a cement floor. Shayani lovingly helps her mother, a housewife, by cleaning the house and assisting with small household tasks, and she expresses her joy through dancing, which brings light to her days. She attends primary school just 1 km from home and walks there with her sister each morning. Her father works as a daily wage earner, and the family’s annual income is only $600, making it difficult to provide nutritious meals consistently and meet education-related costs. The household has tap water, a toilet, and electricity, yet financial insecurity remains heavy. Sponsoring Shayani would support her education and well-being, offering hope, stability, and encouragement, and ending her story not in struggle but in the quiet comfort of knowing someone cares.

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