Sponsor a child for just 76 cent a day
Sadia is just five years old, but, living in the heart of East Africa's drought, she knows more than anyone should about hunger, poverty and desperation. Sadia wants to be a nurse when she grows up. But to do that, she needs to stay in school, and she can't do that if she needs to walk 10km just to get water. To help her little brother survive, Sadia will have to miss her education and never fulfill her dreams.
Child sponsorship can offer her and her family access to water, a nutritious meal in school, and hope through education.
Sadia's family in Kenya are suffering. They live on just one meal a day. Without ActionAid's help, they would not even have that since their goats and sheep died in the drought.
Her mother says:
"I feel frustrated for Sadia, because I have nothing put aside for her future, for her schooling and the things she needs, and all our money is going on water."
