Sponsor A Child

Name: Gift

Country: Uganda

Birthday: 10/16/2016

Gift is a confident and hardworking girl. He loves playing with dolls and skips the rope. She stays with both parents and siblings in a small grass thatched hut made of mud walls and wattle. The hut is regularly repaired although the thatching grass is so scarce and costly. Their main source of income is from subsistence farming on small scale growing crops such as cassava, maize and sweet potatoes for home consumption and surplus are sold to get income. They earn US 25 dollars on average a month however, income earned is low to meet the basic needs of the family including education, medical care, dietary needs, and decent clothing for Gift. She attends school though she has to walk over 4 kilometers to school and because of that her performance is always affected. She is commended by her teachers to be a fast learner and if supported to regularly attend quality education, she will excel in her studies. She likes playing netball, her best color is pink, and her best dish is posho and beans. Your kind sponsorship will be a blessing to Gift.

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