Sponsor A Child

Name: Jesika

Country: Sri Lanka

Birthday: 05/29/2023

Jesika is a sweet and lively little girl living in the picturesque Nuwara Eliya District of Sri Lanka, a region famous for its rolling tea plantations and cool, misty climate that touches every home with serenity. She lives with her loving parents in their own humble house, with sturdy cement walls and floor, a clay-tiled roof, and the basic comforts of tap water, a toilet, and electricity. Jesikas mother stays at home as a housewife, caring tenderly for Jesika, while her father works tirelessly as a full-time wage earner, earning only $1000 per year, which makes it extremely difficult for the family to provide healthy meals and manage essential daily expenses. Although Jesika is still too young for school, she cheerfully helps her parents with household chores like gathering firewood and finds joy in playing with her toys, which bring light to her simple days. Sponsoring Jesika can ensure her access to proper nutrition, essential care, and opportunities for early childhood development. Your support can transform her fragile beginnings into a childhood filled with hope, warmth, and happiness.

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