generational poverty through a proven, thoughtful approach. Over the past 80 years,

free from poverty. With your support, children receive access to life-changing
programming and support that helps them create real change in their lives and
communities.</p>

<h5>Safe havens for support</h5>
<p>Children in poverty often lack access to spaces like playgrounds or recreation
centers. They’re also more likely to be exposed to the dangers of violence, gangs
and drugs at an early age. Your support allows them to take refuge in one of our
<span>67</span>+ community centers: safe, clean and uplifting spaces where children
can learn and grow away from outside stressors.</p>

<h5>Good that grows</h5>
<p>When you sponsor a child, you change their future, helping them see beyond
the daily struggles of poverty. Your support gives children the chance to
create a better future not just for themselves, but for their families and
communities too. Sponsorship starts a powerful multiplier effect that
improves lives, communities and economies around the world.</p>

<h5>Customized programs</h5>
<p>Your sponsorship encompasses health, social and educational programs and
resources, designed to address the specific issues each child faces in their
community. This proven, long-term approach helps children and youth tackle
challenges that might otherwise hold them back for a lifetime—empowering
them to become healthy, educated and productive young adults.</p>

<h5>Will you change a child’s life today?</h5>
<p>When you sponsor a child, your monthly gift of $36 provides access to life-changing
benefits, including medical and dental care, educational support, life-skills training
and job-placement assistance after graduation from our program. As a sponsor, you'll see
your impact firsthand through letters and photos from your child.</p>

<h5>Community centers: A long-term investment in vulnerable areas</h5>
<p>Our community centers show residents that we are there to help — and to stay. And, while
sponsorship contributions provide children with access to dynamic services and programs
available at our centers, we cover the costs of community center construction and
operational support through separate fundraising campaigns.</p>

our Care Team to adjust, delay, or cancel. And because of our
on-going commitment to our children from the time of sponsorship
through graduation, your child will continue to receive benefits
from the program, and we will work to find them another sponsor as
soon as possible.</span></p>
