We believe in encouraging children to reach their dreams

Children can achieve their dreams when they have basic essentials, access to education and the courage to believe they can be successful, the latter of which the kids sing about in the video below by Utah’s One Voice Children’s Choir.

“I keep falling down. I keep hitting the ground, but I always get up now to see what’s next… I won’t give up,” the kids remind us in the Shakira cover song, “Try Everything.”

Children Believe sponsors make it possible for children and young people to overcome barriers so they can “see what’s next,” and be the voice of change in their community, thanks to special gifts and encouragement through letter-writing.

Watch the video to see the difference encouragement can make, and learn more about sponsorship today.
