Sponsorship success stories

Dora

PERU

Raised in Peru, Dora received intentional care and unconditional love from her SOS Mother. “They watched over the health, integrity and education of every child in their care,” she said. “They instilled values and responsibilities in us.”

In addition to providing structure, the encouragement her SOS Mother provided was invaluable. “She encouraged the unique virtues in each of us, which was fundamental because it gave me the security to really pursue my academics.”

Thanks to an SOS sponsor, Dora grew up without fearing for her safety, worrying about where her next meal might come from and knowing she was loved deeply. “I’m always grateful for coming to SOS and being able to enjoy my childhood with freedom and affection from my mother.”

Constantin

RWANDA

Constantin was barely over a year old when he came to an SOS Children’s Village in Rwanda. Weak from malnutrition, he could barely stand. Now, two years later, the energetic three-year-old can hardly stand still!

“Now, he runs around and plays with others,” Yvonne, Constantin’s SOS Mother, said.

Thanks to a generous sponsor like you, Constantin is growing up with a loving family and nutritious meals: “I like my mother because she gives me cookies and sweets. I also like it when she reads to me,” he said.

Constantin has no memories of an empty stomach or time spent alone—thanks to a sponsor like you. 

 

Amaya

INDIA

Amaya grew up surrounded with love from her SOS Mother and siblings. Because of a sponsor like you, she had the foundation of a safe home, which allowed her to focus on her studies.

She discovered her passion for storytelling and dreamed of being a journalist. To earn her degree, she had to move hundreds of miles away. “Leaving the house for the first time was difficult,” Amaya said. “I had never been away from my mother and siblings.”

But she was determined to achieve her goals, and—thanks to a sponsor like you—she has. Amaya has an internship at a news channel where she covers her own stories and presents every morning in the early morning bulletin. With the support of a sponsor like you, Amaya is flourishing.

“SOS Children’s Villages have supported me since I was a little kid and didn’t even know how to dream, so I know I will have support from my family no matter how big of a dream I set out for. I’m so excited and on my way to achieving it.”
