Dorcas, 18, and the other children in her community used to walk eight hours a day just to get clean water.

But when sponsorship came to the community, it changed everything.

Dorcas’ life has flourished with better access to clean water, nutritious food, improved health and more time for school. She hopes to one day become a university professor.

“If I met my sponsor, I would thank them for sponsoring me and changing my community,” she says.
