Whether you’re a caregiver, guardian, father or mother – you want what’s best for your children. Mothers living in poverty are no different. Where the difference lies is that they often don’t have the resources to set their children up for success. That’s where our supporters come in. They help give our mothers hope that their children can have an easier life than they did.

Enjoy these photos and quotes from mothers and children around the world.

I want my child to go to college and start working and that’s why I sacrifice, so that she gets an education. I don’t want her to suffer in the future — I want her to live better a better life and be able to take care of the family.”
- Luckiness

I had abandoned my own dreams, but now I’m trying my best to make them happen. I want to stand by my child and help him achieve his dreams. I will try to provide him with whatever support he needs to reach his goal, without any compromises or shortcomings.”

When my 3rd child was 3 months old I saw an add for Children International on TV needing sponsors.
That was February 1989!
I have been a sponsor “mom” for 3 individual boys through these 32 years.
I’ve been blessed by knowing I was helping in part with their families as well as the children!
Thank you for all you do in the name of Jesus!

P.S. I have 6 children of my own also and know the love and dreams parents have for each of their children.
