Sponsoring a child is the most effective way to fight the social evils of poverty and illiteracy. It creates a timeless impact. You develop a long-term personal relationship with your sponsored child by supporting him/her entirely during his education years till s/he leaves high school, graduates, or becomes self-reliant. In the process, you become a positive role model for him/her. Not only that, the education that the child receives will help him/her break free from poverty and over time become a self-reliant, dignified individual, and socially responsible citizen.
