We started the sponsorship program in 2010. The statistics prove how successful sponsorship is in changing children’s lives, their families' and future generations.

Very few of the children who were accepted were dropped from the program because they performed poorly or stopped going to school. One died, others moved and girls who married were not allowed to continue their education. Afghan children are highly motivated to learn, particularly those who are poor. As Milad said, they don’t want to “be like their parents”.
My apologies to those who have applied to sponsor a child and are still waiting. The due diligence involved in finding qualified children, interviewing them and their parents, and obtaining their parent's written agreement to no longer allow their children to work on the streets takes considerably longer than expected.
Even though a sponsors wait time can be long, Basir and Qudsia found a child to sponsor for everyone on the list. One advantage of the waitlist is the wait time for a sponsored child to receive support is very short.

ps I was just advised that a sponsored child told Basir and Qudsia that he no longer needed support. This is the second time this has occurred We have no way of knowing when children reach this point, a testament to their honesty and concern for the welfare of others.
