Sponsor a Child

Nusrat Jhuma lives with her parents and 1 brother. Her parents struggle to provide for the family. Her father is a factory worker and her mother is a factory worker. Despite their efforts, it is difficult to meet the family’s needs.

Nusrat Jhuma is growing up in a tropical urban area, where many jobs are seasonal and short-lived so most families can’t earn stable incomes. People in extreme poverty live in congested slums that lack many basic necessities, including clean water and sanitation. More than 40% of kids are stunted, meaning they suffer chronic hunger. Many students drop out of school to help support their families. Teachers don’t receive adequate training, so kids don’t read well.

Nusrat Jhuma is in kindergarten and her favorite subject is studying the national language. She helps at home by running errands. She likes to play with dolls. She is in satisfactory health.

Your sponsorship commitment will help Nusrat Jhuma and her community gain access to healthcare services, clean water, and more. We’ll provide people with hygiene and nutrition training so kids grow up healthy and strong. Parents and faith leaders will participate in child protection courses to keep children in school and safe from child labor and other forms of abuse. We’ll partner with schools to provide teachers more tools and techniques so kids can get a quality education. Kids will participate in clubs and fun activities to increase their reading and writing skills.
