Reason for Scholarship: She is a single mother whose only steady income is a $50 monthly government stipend. She also earns about $40 per week cleaning houses on an occasional basis.

Because of her financial hardship, she was unable to enroll her daughter in school last year, causing her to fall one year behind. She is therefore requesting financial assistance.
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.
