Sadia is just five years old, but, living in the heart of East Africa's drought, she knows more than anyone should about hunger, poverty and desperation. Sadia wants to be a nurse when she grows up. But to do that, she needs to stay in school, and she can't do that if she needs to walk 10km just to get water. To help her little brother survive, Sadia will have to miss her education and never fulfill her dreams.

Child sponsorship can offer her and her family access to water, a nutritious meal in school, and hope through education.

Child Sponsorship in Action

ActionAid Child Sponsorship is different. We look at the big picture and work with the whole community to make sure nobody is left out. ActionAid Child Sponsorship helps children become the voice of their community. Each child and community we work with faces unique challenges that are keeping them trapped in poverty. By talking to children and other members of their community, we can identify the things that are causing poverty and are able to make real and lasting changes.
