For Eduardo, just getting to school was a difficult trek. He had to cross a river, then take an hour-long bus ride.

When his older siblings learned of his struggles, they banded together to help.

They pooled funds to cover his bus fare-lifting a big burden from his family's shoulders. And your support acted as a foundation and safety net that allowed his family to support him the rest of the way!

Thanks to compassionate donors like you, Eduardo's dreams of attending university became a reality. With a scholarship covering half of his tuition fees, he could afford to be the first in his family to pursue a college education.

Now, when he's teaching, he sees himself in the desks and gets flashbacks to how challenging it was for him to get to where he is today.

"There are thousands of young people who are looking for an opportunity to change their lives, and I was one of all of those thousands who was lucky enough to change my life. I hope that one day you will have the opportunity to see our faces, to learn who each of us are who are benefiting from all of this. My goal is to help others, just like you are doing."

When you decide to take the step of generosity to become a monthly giver, you can never know the impact you make in a child's life, community and generations to come. Maybe you are able to become a monthly giver, or you're in a place to help with a one-time gift. Either way, you are extending the love of Christ to children in situations like Eduardo's.
