Let’s explain. Poverty is one of the most complex social issues of our time. Beyond a lack of opportunity and access to financial resources, poverty includes things like malnutrition, poor hygiene, deplorable living conditions, domestic gang violence, and early exposure to drugs – impacting every aspect of life from childhood through adulthood. About half of those living in poverty are children, and we believe ending poverty starts with them. Without help, children in poverty become adults in poverty. Their future children are born into poverty, and the cycle continues. Together, we can put an end to generational poverty with a long-term, customized program that helps children get the education, life skills and confidence to change their lives – and the lives of future generations too. Our unique, global approach focuses on four key areas: Health, Education, Empowerment and Employment. These nurturing benefits and support tell children they matter in a world that often tells them otherwise. And when they graduate from sponsorship, they have transformed into empowered, encouraged and confident youth who will pay it forward, bringing hope and opportunity to others in their families, their lives, their communities and the world.
