One-to-one Child Sponsorship Program

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and build a brighter future. Yet for many orphaned and vulnerable children in Zambia, the cost of school fees, a uniform, and basic supplies makes education impossible.

Our child sponsorship program offers a personal, one-to-one connection between you and a child whose life can be transformed through your generosity. Your sponsorship provides the resources needed for that child to attend school while also surrounding them with ongoing care, encouragement, and practical support.

As you read each child’s story below, you’ll discover the many benefits that sponsorship provides—including food distributions for the household three times each year, monthly discipleship, regular home visits, basic medical care, and other essential services designed to help children and families thrive. We encourage you to take a few moments to learn about each child and prayerfully consider sponsoring one today.

Your sponsorship is more than a gift—it is an investment in a child’s future. Through education, compassionate care, and the support of a caring community, you can help provide hope, opportunity, and the reassurance that a child is seen, valued, and deeply loved. 

Scroll down to meet the children who are waiting for a sponsor. Read their stories, learn about the benefits included with sponsorship, and prayerfully consider changing the life of one child today.
