COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- Colorado Springs, CO — In the heart of Ethiopia - children wake each day without clean water - education or even enough food. But hope still lives—thanks to Elshadai Child Development - a Christ-centered nonprofit fighting poverty by providing education, daily meals, and spiritual support to children in desperate need.

Right now, one child is waiting—for you.

Elshadai Child Development is asking compassionate individuals to consider the power of one simple decision: sponsor a child for just $42 a month. That sponsorship provides food, clothing, school supplies, education, and care from a dedicated team of local leaders and teachers.

"When I was sponsored, I finally felt like I mattered," says a program graduate who is now studying to become a teacher. "Elshadai gave me a future—and now I want to give back."

The need is great—but the impact of one sponsor can be life-changing.

With over 200 children still waiting, the organization is calling on churches, families, and everyday people to be part of something eternal. Sponsorship doesn't just change the child—it changes the sponsor.

"Our sponsors aren't just donors—they're family," says a spokesperson from Elshadai. "They're sowing into lives that will one day sow into others."

Sponsors receive:

• A photo and profile of the child they support
• Letters and updates from the child
• Annual progress reports
• The joy of knowing they're making a generational impact

Your giving can:

• Keep a girl in school
• Help a boy avoid child labor
• Provide a safe place to grow in faith

For less than $1.50 a day, you can offer a child the chance to dream—to learn—to live with hope.
