The children in our sponsorship program are all different. Some are young preschoolers; others young adults. Some are day students; others are boarders. Some like music; others like sport.
But they are all the same when it comes to showing resilience, dreaming big despite challenging circumstances and doing their best now so they can positively contribute to their families and communities one day soon. They are all deserving of hope!
Meet Anushka, Tummim and Urim, 11-year-old triplets from Bangladesh.
Coming from a poor, rural village, the triplets nearly missed out on going to school when their father became sick and the family
– grandparents, parents and children – struggled to make ends meet.
When their parents applied to the school for help, they were worried that not all three of their children would receive support. But all three have been studying together since 2020 thanks to their sponsors.
“I want to thank my sponsor for being by my side during this growing-up period. I also want to thank my sponsor who lessened my family’s burden and provided a wonderful school for us to study at,” says Anushka.
Anushka’s favourite thing about school is that she can study together with her brothers because, in her own words, “They are not only my brothers, but also my friends. Tummim is ingenious and active, and Urim is quiet and reluctant. I adore them. We play together during free time at school.”
For children like the triplets, sponsorship transforms theirs and the lives of their families too.
