Catching up with former sponsored children who reached their dreams

By Brianne Binelli, digital content manager

Meet five graduates of our programs who are enjoying success

We love to hear good-news stories, especially during these difficult times, so join as we dive into our video library and catch up with former sponsored children. 

You’ll meet five graduates of our program, including Vasantha who was sponsored in India until she was 20. “I’ve achieved my dreams with the support of sponsors,” says the 34-year-old who’s now working as a field facilitator for one of our projects. “My children wonder about my smiling face. I tell them CCFC (now Children Believe) is behind all of my boldness and happiness.”

At Children Believe, we take four steps to helping children access education and reach their dreams: we help build thriving communities, we advance child rights and protection, we promote equality for girls and we partner with children for change.

Sponsor a child today.
