Sponsor A Child

Joao is a very young Brazilian boy who lives with his grandfather, Adonias; mother, Lindomar, and with a sister, an aunt and a cousin, in a small rural village located in the interior of the state of Ceara, which is a hot and remote region. Their simple home has brick walls, rough cement floors and a clay-tiled roof. It is self-built and has a tiny bathroom. Water is carried from an artesian well. The father has abandoned the home and has not been providing any type of financial support for his children. Adonias receives a small old age pension, which is far from enough to meet basic needs. Joao is an active and sweet baby boy. He crawls all over the floor and sits all by himself. He takes bottles as well as solid foods like corn pap and vegetable soup. Bright colored and noisy toys attract his attention most. Joao is considered to have good health, in spite of the poor living conditions and diet. Through your support Joao and his family will have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, education and nutrition.

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