CHILD SPONSORSHIP. GNU SPONSORED 2,715 CHILDREN AGES FROM 4 TO 18 IN GUATEMALA, NICARAGUA, HAITI, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, MALAWI, CHAD, NIGER, AND NEPAL RESPECTIVELY. GNU'S CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO COMBAT THREE CRITICAL PROBLEMS THAT CHILDREN IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES FACE: LACK OF EDUCATION, POOR NUTRITION, AND LITTLE TO NO ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE MEDICAL CARE. CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM ENCOURAGES DONORS TO MAKE A MONTHLY COMMITMENT THAT COVERS A CHILD'S TUITION, UNIFORM, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, BOOKS, LUNCHTIME MEALS, AND MEDICAL CARE. THIS PROGRAM NOT ONLY PROVIDES THOSE IN NEED WITH AID BUT ALSO COMBATS SOME OF THE DIRECT SOURCES OF POVERTY, INCLUDING ILLITERACY, POOR HEALTH, AND LACK OF SKILLS NEEDED FOR JOB PLACEMENT. IT'S AN ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE, COMMUNITY-BASED SOLUTION THAT INVESTS IN CHILDREN, GIVING THEM THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITIES TO ONE DAY BE PRODUCTIVE ADULTS WHO CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO THEIR SOCIETY.
