Reason for Scholarship: They are applying for the scholarship because they are facing severe financial difficulties; his father does not have a steady job and works temporarily in construction. His mother works as a night shift worker and earns a base salary of $460. They use this to pay for food and basic utilities, with monthly expenses totaling $350. They do not own a home and pay $100 in rent. Additionally, the school they previously attended closed due to safety concerns, so they have nowhere for the children to study, and the other schools are too far away.

What Your Sponsorship Provides
When you sponsor a child in Ecuador, your donation supports the child's education in an excellent school.  These children come from very impoverished areas, and the local schools are greatly lacking.  Your donation will not only allow a child to receive a very good education, but will also allow him or her to experience the love of God in a faith-filled community.  Additional donations can be made here to help support children without sponsors as well as support additional needs of the children, such as gifts, uniforms and school supplies.

What You'll Receive
As a sponsor, you will receive a newsletter with general updates from our communities in India and Ecuador as well as a letter from your adopted child 3 times per year:  Easter, early fall and Christmas.  We also encourage you to send letters or cards to your adopted child by creating and logging into your account on our website.
