Sponsor A Child

Name: Tharun

Country: Sri Lanka

Birthday: 12/01/2013

This profound truth finds its embodiment in young Nethmika, a bright and healthy middle school student who enjoys all subjects at school. He lives with only his mother, a diligent laborer, in a struggling community in Sri Lankas North-Western province. Their humble, small wattle and daub house, with its mud floor and clay tile roof, is a stark reminder of their daily struggle. They crucially, live without sanitation or electricity, making everyday life incredibly challenging. His mothers meager income leaves them constantly striving to meet basic needs, and this financial hardship undeniably impacts Nethmikas health and well-being. For a childlike Nethmika, education isnt just an advantage; its a powerful shield against the grip of poverty. Your contribution would be transformative, providing him with the vital opportunity for a good education, essential nutrition, and the chance for him and his mother to experience a measure of stability and hope. By supporting Nethmika, you dont just offer help; you create a ripple of hope that will positively echo through every aspect of his young life. 

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