Why children need your support

Xinh, 10, is a sponsored child from Vietnam – a country that is vulnerable to the devastating effects of natural disasters. Thanks to support from our sponsors, we are able to teach children like Xinh how they can stay safe during emergencies.

When she grows up, Xinh wants to become a doctor so she can help cure diseases in her community.

With your support, we can help Xinh and children all over the world to achieve their dreams.
