Sponsoring a child is one of the most incredible gifts you can give. Due to poverty, many children are denied an education, limiting their futures and perpetuating a cycle of poverty. Providing a child with access to an education opens up options for their future and empowers them with options and knowledge. We have many options for sponsorship and we encourage sponsors to know the children they are helping. Sponsorship starts at $2 a day.

MDU BOYS HOME

We currently have a boys home in Mutungo. They all have different circumstances but many have run away from home due to poverty, abuse or death of family. They have been living on the streets but are now safe in a house where they are receiving basic education, food, medical care and lots of love!

They are all anxious to get sponsors so the can go to school, some of them for the first time. Please contact us for more information on the individual children.
