Across Kenya and Guatemala children are writing letters—not to anyone specific, but to someone.
Someone who will believe in them. Someone who will care. Someone who might one day write back.
One of those letters comes from Yareydi, a 10-year-old girl in Guatemala.
“I like to help my mom cook. I am in fourth grade. I don’t have a sponsor, but I would like to have one. Would you like to be my sponsor? Many hugs, Yareydi.” 👉 Sponsor Yareydi Here!
Yareydi isn’t just asking for help—she’s inviting a relationship. She’s hoping for someone who will believe in her dreams, support her education, and walk alongside her as she grows.
This is the heart of child sponsorship: it’s not just about tuition or school supplies. It’s about community, mentorship, and hope. It’s about showing a child that someone cares, that someone sees them, that someone believes in their future.
There are thousands of children just like Yareydi, waiting for a “Dear Someone” to become their sponsor. And today, that someone could be you.
How Sponsorship Changes a Child’s Life
When you sponsor a child, you provide:
Education — school fees, books, uniforms, etc.
Mentorship & Discipleship — guidance, encouragement, and spiritual formation
Community Impact — health, clean water, and family support
Your sponsorship is the bridge between a child’s potential and their future!
Be the Someone Yareydi is Waiting For
Don’t let her letter go unanswered. Every child deserves someone to believe in them—and you can be that someone today.
In the rural schools of San Martín, many children face a challenge that often goes unseen but deeply affects their future — difficulty in learning to read and write.
More than 90% of students who struggle academically have difficulties specifically related to communication and language, impacting their ability to keep up with classmates and putting their promotion to the next grade at risk.
In the rural communities of San Antonio Huista and Unión Cantinil, Guatemala, many families live day by day without the tools to plan for the future. Saving is not common—not because people are unwilling, but because they have never been taught how. Dreams of starting a business, improving a home, or investing in a child’s education often remain out of reach. Children, youth, adults, and elders alike face the reality of limited financial stability and few opportunities to imagine a different path forward.
Deep in the mountains of the municipality of Unión Cantinil, Guatemala, in communities like Las Lomas and Villa Linda, more than just classes are being lost. At stake is the dignity of childhood, struggling to learn under conditions no one should accept as normal.
Children arrive at school hungry and tired. Parents, though giving their all, often cannot help with homework because they themselves had limited educational opportunities. Overcrowded classrooms, too few teachers, and a system that struggles to respond make learning an uphill battle.
