Why sponsor a girl?

Sponsorship benefits your sponsored child and four other children in her community. In fact, sponsorship helps girls finish school, avoid early marriage and gain financial independence.

Our vision of the world

We are inspired by children to see a world of possibilities, not limits. That is why we connect with communities, supporters, partners and governments to tackle poverty and injustice by focusing on three main areas.
