A Simple Act of Kindness, A Lifetime of Change – Child Sponsorship Matters

A Simple Act of Kindness, A Lifetime of Change – Child Sponsorship Matters
When you sign up for Global Compassion Child Sponsorship, you’re not just investing in the well-being of a single child. You’re making a profound and lasting impact on an entire community. Imagine the difference you can make by sponsoring a child in the Mathare Valley of Kenya, where approximately 100,000 children reside in slums.

Eastside sponsorship provides comprehensive support to these children, including education, school supplies and uniforms, nutritious meals, medical care, health workshops and counseling for their entire families, Vacation Bible School and camp experiences. By sponsoring a child, you’re not just giving them a better life; you’re empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future for themselves and their loved ones.

Cost: $40 per month
Or $70 per month for a child living in boarding school
