Sponsor A Child

Melvin is a young girl from Turkana County in northern Kenya. She lives with her parents, two sisters, and two brothers in a palm-thatched mud house on communal land. The family fetches water from a river that is saline and unsafe, exposing her to waterborne diseases. Her father provides for the family through charcoal burning and mat selling, while her mother supplements with basket weaving and broom making. Their annual income is below 360 USD, which cannot sustain the family. Her mother therefore sought help from the office. Melvin is enrolled in a nearby school and enjoys playing with shakers. Her mother hopes she will become a news anchor in the future. At home, she helps her parents fetch water. Your support will bring lasting change to her life.
