Sponsor A Child

Name: Joe

Country: Senegal

Birthday: 07/31/2019

Joseph or Joe, as he is dearly called at home, is a cool and good-mannered boy. He is well looked after by his relatives. His father is running a small-scale business, selling petty goods.  His irregular earnings are about US $1,360 in a year. Joe’s mother keeps the house and cares for her family. How hard she has tried she finds it difficult to satisfy her family basic needs.  Joseph, his five senior brothers, and their parents accommodate in two concrete rooms in the big family house. They have access to running water and electricity supplies. They share dependencies with the other households living in the same house. Luckily everyone is ready to help each other in the house. Joe is attending a local preschool. For fun, Joe enjoys sharing games with his peers. They love to play soccer with ball, his elders make for them with old socks and rags. With the support of a kind sponsor, this child will enjoy better conditions for living, and he will grow healthy, secure and have good education.

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