Get to know Isaac M.

 

Isaac is a 16-yr-old boarding student who will be starting Grade 9 in 2027, along with his twin sister, Rabecca (who is also in need of a sponsor). His favorite color is blue and his favorite animal is an elephant. When Isaac grows up, he wants to become a doctor!

Isaac and Rabecca have 6 other siblings, which puts a heavy financial strain on their parents. Neither are gainfully employed at this time and are unable to afford both the daily cost of living for a family of 8, as well as their schooling.

Sponsor Isaac (or Rabecca!) today to keep him enrolled in school and on the right path to attend university someday.

  • Poverty In Zambia

    Unlike most places in the developed world, education is not free to the public in Zambia. All students are required to pay school fees as well as purchase a school uniform, shoes, and other supplies, which many families cannot afford. In times of crisis, impoverished children are especially vulnerable and face several challenges. Girls who are unable to attend school have a high risk of becoming pregnant or being forced into marriage, whereas boys have a high risk of underage drinking, smoking, and becoming involved in petty crime. By sponsoring a child you are giving them access to life-changing programs and support.
