In Luguru, more than 90% of the people depend on traditional smallholder farming. However, unreliable rainfall means crop yield is inconsistent and young children are often malnourished.

Sponsorship is helping to tackle three challenges facing children in Luguru:
  1. With schools far away and a shortage of teachers, it's hard to get an education.
  2. Without access to health services, kids can die from preventable diseases.
  3. Families struggle to grow enough food, so kids go hungry.

Partnering together for a sustainable future.

By sponsoring children in Luguru community, you are making an incredible difference in vulnerable children’s lives.

Your support is helping Luguru community by improving the physical, emotional, spiritual and social well-being of the most vulnerable children.

Through decades of experience, we have proven that the most effective way to help a child is to strengthen their entire community, caring for every child along the way. In fact, because of these community-focused solutions, for every child you sponsor, 4 more benefit too!

Together, we are tackling the hard problems, such as changing mindsets and behaviours to address the root causes of poverty. We're focusing on building skills, hope and opportunity for the children of Luguru community.
