Sponsor A Child

Name: Calvin

Country: Uganda

Birthday: 10/07/2017

Calvin lives in a family siblings and with both parents. They are a happy, loving and welcoming family who live in a rented single room brick walled house built on a plot of land, while his mother gardens for food seasonally, the family also rears some domestic birds at home for an income. The family fetches water from an open well 2 kilometres from home. Despite being distant, this rampantly risks the family to health issues related to waterborne diseases like Typhoid and diarrhoea. The family earns an average monthly income of 15 dollars but due to the conflicting priority needs, it is often a hardship to raise the health needs of her children whenever sick. This leads the family to use local herbs staking their lives Calvin and his family sleep on ragged beddings and due to the cold night weather diseases like pneumonia are prone to attack. Amidst such huddles, Calvin is familiar to everyone and likes making friends. He enjoys playing football with friends. He likes food and his best dish is rice and meat. Your support to him and the family will change their lives.

Ending child poverty begins with Calvin. It’s easy. It’s impactful.
