Every three seconds a child dies from a preventable disease. (Oxfam)

Thank you for visiting my Lift One Project page. With this webpage I hope to accomplish big things, life-changing things.

I want to introduce you to an organization and a solution that addresses a cause that is very important to me: child poverty.

Children International has been around since 1936, and now assists over 300,000 children in 11 countries. They connect very poor children to caring sponsors. I am proud to be a sponsor myself and I’m asking you to learn more about sponsorship and hopefully become a
sponsor to a child in need.

My sponsored child receives free health care and medicine when they get sick, has access to a dentist and receives benefits like the clothing, shoes and supplies necessary to go to school. Because of sponsorship, children have a place to turn to and real hope for the future. The amazing Children International staff and volunteers in my sponsored child’s community are committed to turning disadvantaged children into healthy, educated, self-reliant adults.

Six million children under the age of 5 die as a result of hunger and malnutrition every year. (UNICEF)

Every day 30,000 people die from extreme poverty. (World Health Organization)

The United Nations estimates that over three billion people live on less than two dollars a day! Poverty is humiliating and robs individuals of power and options. Without significant help, there’s simply no way to break the cycle of poverty -- sponsorship gives children resources lifting the obstacles that stand in the way.

One to one sponsorship through Children International breaks it down to that critical individual level, a level where you can see results and bear witness to amazing change.

Be sure to watch the video on the right-hand side of the screen and read “The Benefits of Sponsorship” to learn more about this terrific organization.

NOW is the Time. YOU CAN Make A Difference!

I trust Children International to use my money wisely. In fact, eight out of every ten dollars raised goes programs and services that directly help children. $22 per month (approximately 73 cents a day) can make a huge difference in a poor child’s life.

It's easy to find the money to sponsor a child..... Do you really need that cup of coffee you buy each day? What about that candy bar you know you don't need. How about eating out one less day a week. You can do good things for yourself (be healthier) and make a huge difference in the life of someone less fortunate.

You'll feel good in more ways than one!

Click the "Benefits of Sponsorship" link on the right to learn more about the difference you can make in a childs life.

Giving a poor child the tools necessary to lift themselves out of poverty is a great gift and you have the power to make it happen. Push the “Lift One” button and begin searching for your sponsored child. It is truly an amazing and satisfying journey.
