Watch children who have the strength and confidence to dream big

We’re so thankful to our donors who help make dreams come true every day, empowering children to change their world. Check out the InspireMore video below for examples of seven children from North America who had support to reach their dreams.

“I was actually born with one finger on my left hand and a full left leg, but it was curved. I had surgery when I was two-and-a-half years old to remove the part that was curved, so I had a stump that they could put a prosthetic leg on,” says Ezra, a determined, decorated young athlete.

Our donors give tens of thousands of children a chance to access their basic needs, so they can get an education, learn their rights and be empowered to make lasting change in their community.

Watch this video below to see what children can do when they have the support to thrive.

Sponsor a child today, and make a lasting difference.
