Kim travelled to Uganda to meet her sponsored child, Jackline — and saw with her own eyes the incredible change made possible by generous Kiwis like you.
When you sponsor a child, you provide life-changing essentials like clean water, nutritious food, education, and healthcare — not just for one child, but for their whole community. It’s support that lasts and empowers communities to build a better, more self-sufficient future.
Your monthly gift means a child doesn’t just survive — they have the chance to thrive. To dream. To grow.
Sponsor a child today and rewrite their story.
