Sponsor A Child

Shamim is a jolly and kind young girl who is good at skipping the rope with friends. She is a Ugandan who lives in the Central part of the country with her father, mother and siblings. The family stays in a house made of muddy walls, straw thatched roof and the floor that is maintained by coating it with cow dung. Her parents are farmers who grow crops on a small piece of land just behind their house such as cabbage and beans and they earn a monthly income of US 21 dollars out of the sales of these crops which is too meagre for Shamim and her family to have all the basic needs like a balanced diet, clothes and good shelter. Shamim reports to school late because of lack of school fees so she misses a lot and this has greatly affected her performance yet she is a very bright girl but this back and forth of sending her for school fees affects her grades. Sponsoring Shamim will help her get access to quality education and medication hence improving the livelihood of Shamim and her family.

Ending child poverty begins with Shamimi. It’s easy. It’s impactful.
