Firsts are powerful moments and 2020 hasn't been short of them – from a global pandemic to adapting to new normal and everything in between, the year has been nothing short of tumultuous.
But, what if you could still make 2020 count? What if you end the year by changing the life of a child?
Take the first step to transforming a child's life with more firsts (the best kinds) this festive season and unlock a world of firsts for them and their community.
With your sponsorship, children can be gifted with the firsts stepping stones towards a future of hope and a life beyond poverty.
