Sponsor A Child

Name: Shanuka

Country: Sri Lanka

Birthday: 06/13/2015

Shanuka Anujith lives in the picturesque Monaragala District of Sri Lanka, a region known for its lush greenery and peaceful countryside. He lives with his parents and brother in a modest home, where he helps his mother with daily chores like cleaning the house. Shanuka enjoys playing with his friends, which is his favorite way to relax. Shanuka attends primary school, which is located 25 kilometers away from his home. He travels by bus with his brother every day. His family struggles to provide enough food and cover the costs of their children’s education. Shanuka’s father works full-time as a wage laborer, while his mother is a housewife. Their annual income is just $1,200, making it difficult to meet all their basic needs. They live in an incomplete house with brick walls, a cement floor, and a roof made of clay tiles and tin sheets. They get water from their well and have both electricity and toilet facilities. Your sponsorship could help Shanuka’s family overcome these challenges. With your support, they can improve their living conditions and ensure a better future for their children.

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