Dear GlobalGiving Family,
We hope this update finds you well.
As we reflect on the first half of this year, our hearts are filled with gratitude for every person who has chosen to believe in the children of Tierra Bomba and invest in their future.
Today, we are happy to share that 16 children are now fully sponsored through our Sponsor a Child program. While this is an important milestone worth celebrating, it also reminds us of the tremendous need that still exists. Our school currently serves 200 children, which means that 184 children are still waiting for a sponsor who can help open doors of opportunity and hope in their lives.
For many of the children we serve, poverty is not just a statistic- it is a daily reality. Many grow up in homes where families struggle to meet basic needs, where access to healthcare is limited, and where opportunities for quality education and personal development are scarce. Yet every day, these children arrive at school with dreams, talents, and an incredible desire to learn.
Thanks to the support of our donors and sponsors, we continue providing a safe and nurturing environment where children receive much more than an education. They benefit from daily nutrition programs, psychosocial support, health and wellness activities, educational reinforcement, and sports and extracurricular opportunities that help them develop confidence, discipline, and life skills.
This year, we have continued strengthening our literacy support initiatives, helping children improve their reading and writing abilities while providing them with a positive space to spend their afternoons. These activities not only improve academic performance but also help protect children from the risks they often face in their communities, including violence, neglect, and negative influences on the streets.
Every sponsored child represents a story being rewritten. A child who once faced barriers now has access to opportunities. A child who may have felt forgotten now knows that someone believes in them. A child who once struggled to imagine a future can begin to dream again.
While we celebrate the 16 children who have already found sponsors, we remain committed to reaching every one of the 200 children entrusted to our care. We know that lasting change happens when a community of compassionate people comes together around a common purpose.
We invite you to continue sharing our mission and encouraging others to become sponsors. Every new sponsorship helps us provide stability, protection, education, and hope to a child who deserves the chance to thrive.
Thank you for walking alongside us on this journey. Your generosity is helping create brighter futures in Tierra Bomba, one child at a time.
With sincere gratitude,
Fundación Dones de Misericordia
