Summary

Uplift a Child adopted 200 children providing them with the gift of education to ignite their lives. This is our 8th year of support & the children have grown both physically & mentally due to their education. Our CEO visited the DRC twice to ensure all the children are receiving everything they need. However we are facing financial challenges as we do not have enough sponsors to support them. We seek help of like-minded individuals to give these children a chance to continue their education.

Challenge

The young children that come into our program are born into a life without hope or a chance of upward mobility. Some are orphaned and others live under little more than a thatched roof with an impoverished single mom, who often has escaped an abusive domestic situation. All desperately need our help to pull them up, help them stand on their feet in life, and become providers of hope for their community. Without your help these children would be forced to resort to a life of child labor.

Solution

Our approach in uplifting each child through education is unique because we ensure that once enrolled in our program, each child has the resources to attend school from kindergarten through high school. Our approach to the child's success is holistic. 1) We provide guidance, counseling and mentoring to each child so that any obstacles to studies are identified and resolved early without interrupting the child's education. 2) We audit attendance, school quality and academic progress very closely.

Long-Term Impact

We will educate these children, allowing them to come out of poverty and change their economic status through 12 years of educational help. We monitor their growth monthly and provide solutions to current issues. To make this possible, we need your help. We are looking for kind sponsors to open their hearts and give these children a new life by sponsoring their education.
