Catching up with 5 former sponsored children

Watch them thank sponsors for helping them reach their dreams

We love to hear about former sponsored children who are thriving, as you can see in the video below, featuring five graduates of our programs around the world.

You’ll meet young people like, Anandhraj (above), 33, who was part of a sponsorship program in India between 1995 and 2002. Today, he’s a lawyer, who’s grateful for support he had as a child. “It’s hard to express in words what I think of my success in life,” he says. “I was happy to have a sponsor who supported me.”

Sponsor a child today.
