Be the change a child needs to dream fearlessly

See how it takes just one person to transform a life for the better

Our sponsors have the opportunity to do more than help a child escape poverty, they have the chance to encourage them to reach for dreams they never thought were possible, just like Clint in the video below.

In Clint’s case, a teacher believed in him and encouraged him, changing the course of his life. “He saw something in me that I didn’t even see within myself,” explains Clint in the video. “And, from that moment, I learned there’s a difference between being the best in the world and being the best for the world.”

We’ve heard stories of former sponsored children becoming doctors, engineers, teachers and soccer players, and we believe it’s because they were given the resources, tools and encouragement to dream fearlessly.

Watch the video below to hear Clint’s story, and sponsor a child today to be a positive impact in their life.
