Lourien's father abandoned the family. His mother is aging and has struggled to farm and raise animals in an area ravaged by drought. There are 20 people living in his household, all hungry and in a situation of true poverty. Sponsorship is needed to keep Lourien in school.

Your sponsorship will help this child grow up to be like Jesus by providing them with nutritious meals, clean water, new clothing, a quality education, opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities, basic medical care, and spiritual guidance from local Christian ministers, teachers and community leaders.
