Sponsor A Child

Emanuel is a young Brazilian boy who lives with his parents, Arlindo and Lucia, in a small community located in the state of Ceara. Their simple home, which is self-owned, has brick walls, rough cement flooring and a clay-tiled roof. It has a tiny bathroom. Running water and electricity are available. Both the parents are unemployed at this time. The family receives a small family allowance from the federal government, which is far from enough to meet basic needs. Emanuel is playful and intelligent. He helps his mom with some small household chores. His favorite pastimes include playing tag and hide-and-seek. He has a dog he is fond of. Emanuel is considered to have good health, in spite of the poor living conditions and diet. He attends a local public elementary school and his favorite subjects are history and math. He dreams of becoming a civil engineer someday. The family is needy and through your support Emanuel and his family have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, recreation, education and nutrition. 

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