Sponsor a Child

Rica Mae lives with her parents and has no brothers or sisters. Her parents struggle to provide for the family. Her father is unemployed and her mother is a household helper. Despite their efforts, it is difficult to meet the family’s needs.

Rica Mae is growing up in a rural community in the Philippines. A typical home is constructed of bamboo with woven grass walls. The floor is made of wooden slats and the roof is covered with palm leaves. Families survive mostly on rice and fish with leafy vegetables. The climate is very warm, humid and tropical. Because of this, the terrain is lush with vegetation.

Rica Mae is in primary school and her favorite subject is studying the native language. She helps at home by sweeping the floors. She likes to play with dolls. She is in satisfactory health.

Your sponsorship commitment will help provide Rica Mae and her community with improved nutrition and extra income from planting home gardens and fish farming. Your faithful support reduces illness by providing education on hygiene and sanitation. With your help, community groups will receive small business loans and training to help parents save money for their children’s needs. And Vacation Bible School in many areas will give children a chance to learn about Jesus.
