Help protect a girl from child marriage.

Yasmin was married at age 14, and from that day her childhood stopped. But because her daughter Halima has a sponsor, Halima can keep learning and dreaming. With the help of her sponsor, her future will be unstoppable.

“My story doesn’t have to be her story.” Yasmin lost her childhood at just 14. Now she’s determined her daughter won’t. Watch her powerful story.

As a sponsor, your gift will:

Provide essentials like education, food, clean water, and healthcare to help a girl stay in school and reach for their dreams.
Help families find ways to earn a more stable income, so poverty doesn’t force them to marry off their daughters.
Support whole communities to understand the dangers, challenge harmful beliefs, and break the cycle of child marriage.

Your sponsorship reaches every part of her life

One of the best things is the joy you’ll share with your sponsored child throughout the journey of your life-changing connection.

Physically nourished

You help provide nutritious food, clean water, healthcare, and ways for her family to earn a more stable income so she can grow strong and go to school.

Emotionally supported

Caring adults, safe spaces, and education help protect her from child marriage, break cycles of poverty and injustice, and help her reach for her dreams.

Spiritually encouraged

In partnership with you, local leaders, and churches, she’s reminded she is loved by God, made with purpose, and full of potential.

See sponsorship through Halima’s eyes

For Halima, sponsorship means her life won’t follow the same path as her mother’s. It means time to grow, to learn, to dream, and the freedom to become who she was always meant to be.

“When I found out I have a sponsor, I felt amazing!”

– Halima. 9 years
