Child Sponsorship
For many children in Guatemala, school, healthcare, and even daily meals aren’t guaranteed. Child Sponsorship gives them something powerful. A chance. A future. And someone who believes in them.

Why Sponsorship Matters
In many families, children begin working as early as five years old. Not because they want to, but because survival comes first. Education and dreams often have to wait.
Child Sponsorship helps change that reality. It creates space for children to learn, grow, and imagine a future that looks different from today.
What Your Sponsorship Provides
For just $42 a month, your sponsorship helps provide what every child deserves.
A safe place to learn. Nutritious meals. Clean drinking water. Medical care. Ongoing support.

Meet the Children
This is a direct sponsorship. You’ll see the children currently waiting for a sponsor and choose the one you feel connected to. Each child has a name. A story. And a future worth investing in.
Meet Kimberli
Kimberli is 10 years old and lives in the community of Agua Escondida with her mother, her brother, and her sister.
She’s in third grade and attends Agua Hub School. Like many children in her community, school is something she works hard to hold onto. Every day comes with uncertainty, but learning gives her a sense of stability and hope.
Kimberli is growing, learning, and dreaming, just like any child should be able to do.
Visit Your Sponsored Child
You can meet your child in person!
Sponsors have the opportunity to travel to Guatemala and visit their sponsored child. You can see their community, meet their family, and witness firsthand what your support has made possible.
Real lives. Real change.
