Child Sponsorship
Helping to care for and keep children with their families.
Sponsor a child in Ukraine and change their life for just $360 a year.
There are just as many orphans that are living at home with a single parent, elderly grandparents, older siblings or other relatives who are incapable of providing for them. Many times the kids live in worse conditions than children in orphanages due to neglect.
For a child, a visit from a Sister means a warm hug, food, clothing, a toy and some chocolate. Sisters have a very difficult task to choose a needy child among so many neglected ones.
Becoming a Sponsor
