HIGH-PRIORITY sponsorships?
High-priority children have been sponsored in the past but recently lost their sponsorship support.
From Simply Surviving to Leading with Strength
In a small rural village in South Asia, families’ lives are defined by survival, with virtually no opportunities to improve their circumstances. Most families survive on daily wage labor, primarily by picking cotton on other people’s farms, earning less than two dollars a day. Women especially face hardship and extreme poverty. This was Sarah’s* daily struggle.
Sarah’s pastor introduced her family to a savings group through their local church. These savings groups are church-based initiatives led by members of the community, made possible through trainings and resources provided by One More Child. The savings group changed Sarah’s life.
Uganda: Peninah’s Journey to Healing
At 13 years old, Peninah is a brave young girl growing up in Uganda. Recently, she faced a painful challenge when a growth developed in her knee and required urgent surgery.
Thanks to the care of ministry staff and a dedicated medical team, Peninah received the treatment she needed and her surgery was a success!
Today, Peninah is recovering with a bright smile and a grateful heart, thanking God for His faithfulness and for the support that made her treatment possible.
Please pray for Peninah’s continued recovery and complete healing. Thank you for being part of her story and helping children like Peninah receive the care, support, and hope they need to thrive.
Much Needed Care Within Reach in Haiti
Maeva, a little girl participating in our baby feeding program in Haiti, has recently received much needed medical care and thankfully, One More Child’s partner was ready to answer the call.
When Maeva developed a skin condition that left her uncomfortable, her concerned parents knew she needed care. They brought her to the MOHI Clinic, where the medical team examined her and provided the treatment and medication she needed.
With proper care and her parents faithfully following the treatment plan, Maeva’s condition improved significantly. Today, she is feeling much better and she went back to being a happy, playful little girl.
Through your faithful support of One More Child, children like Maeva can receive medical care when they need it most.
A Life Saved, a Future Redefined
Most 1-year-olds are learning to walk and talk, experiencing the world in a new way with their whole lives ahead of them—but this was not the case for Wilbur. At one year old, Wilbur was severely malnourished and on the brink of death.
When a One More Child mission team visited Wilbur’s town in Uganda, our team immediately recognized the dire situation and sprang into action. Pam, a mission team member and former pediatric nurse, along with a team of social workers began providing emergency care to save his life.
El Salvador: A Reminder that God Is Near
For years, life at home felt uncertain for young Sara. When her parents separated in 2023, her mother and grandmother became her primary caregivers. With her mother carrying the weight of providing for both her and the household, life became difficult for their family.
Sara had accepted Jesus into her heart at a young age, but the pain of her parents’ separation caused her to question whether God was still near to her. As she wrestled with this uncertainty, One More Child’s sponsorship program gave her a powerful reminder: she is not forgotten.
Through sponsorship, she has experienced God’s care in a tangible way. Knowing that her sponsor thinks of her, prays for her and looks out for her has strengthened her faith and reminded her that she is deeply loved.
Today, Sara and her family are grateful—not only for the practical support they have received, but for the hope, love, and renewed faith that have come through sponsorship. Her story is a beautiful reminder that God is always watching over His children, even in the hardest seasons.
Israel’s Inspiring Courage
Israel is part of a family of seven receiving support from One More Child. His life changed dramatically after he lost a leg in a house fire, bringing both physical and emotional challenges.
For a long time, even getting to medical appointments was difficult. His father would carry him on his back and walk across a river just to reach the bus for the two-hour journey to the doctor.
Through it all, Israel and his family remained strong. With support and access to the care he needed, Israel adapted remarkably well to his first prosthetic leg. And during a recent visit from his sponsor and a missionary team, he was back doing the very thing he loves: playing soccer!
Israel’s courage and faith continue to inspire those around him, reminding his community that even in the face of difficult circumstances, there is hope for a brighter future.
The Lifeline of Education
Camila’s childhood began with heartache. At a young age she was abandoned by her mother and then her father became unable to care for her. Her grandmother was left to raise her, but the compounding expenses of raising a child weighed on her shoulders.
When Camila first came into her grandmother’s care, the financial burden was overwhelming, and she thought she would have to remove Camila out of school.
Our team and partners spoke with Camila’s grandmother and told her that through the sponsorship, Camila would receive school uniforms, supplies, shoes, and books. In addition, through the school, she would receive breakfast and lunch, easing even more of the burden on her grandmother’s shoulders.
With this support, Camila was able to stay in school and receive an education—a lifeline for young girls in this region.
Sponsorship Lightens the Load of Daily Struggles in the Dominican Republic
Life has not always been easy the Montero Beltre family in the Dominican Republic. Mother and father, Sonia and Luis Antonio faced challenges that made it difficult to provide for their family including a lack of education, health issues, and poor and unsafe living conditions. Still, they do what they can to care for their 14-year-old son Luis, their 21- year-old daughter Riana, and Riana’s 4-year-old daughter Angelica.
Thankfully, they have received help and support through sponsorship with One More Child. Luis and Angelica are both sponsored children, allowing their family to receive monthly food baskets that put nutritious food on the table and provide ongoing support for health, educational, and spiritual needs.
With their needs taken care of and consistent ongoing support through One More Child, Luis and Angelica are equipped and empowered to build brighter futures.
Sacrifical Giving in Costa Rica
Husband and wife, Sam and Sam (yes, they share the same first and last name), Batten’s passion for child sponsorship began with a mission trip. In partnership with One More Child and their church, they served on a mission team to Costa Rica and fell in love with the community and transformation taking place. While on this mission trip, they chose to sponsor a young girl on the spot and left Costa Rica with their hearts full.
After returning home, the Battens could not get the children of Costa Rica off their minds. God continued to impress upon their heart the impact of child sponsorship and the needs of children in Costa Rica. They led several others in their church to sponsor as well, but they still had this conviction to do more.
