Why sponsor?
When you become a sponsor, you are helping an underprivileged child see a future beyond poverty.
You are giving them a chance to follow a better path in life, one they might not have been able to follow without support.
Your help will pave the way for children to thrive, offering daily nutritious meals, routine medical check-ups, hygiene kits, education, school supplies, bathroom reconstruction in their homes, and the inclusion of their parents in income generation programs.
You may sponsor for as long as you would like. You may also choose to be matched with more than one child.
Currently, there are almost 500 children in the program with multiple needs, waiting to be sponsored.
Biggest Needs
FOOD
Sometimes they go days without eating because their families live from day to day and sometimes cannot buy enough.
HEALTH
Children live in rural areas where going to a doctor's office is a huge expense, so their families resort to home remedies to treat symptoms that often worsen because they are not treated properly.
EDUCATION
The children in the program are very poor, so many times parents do not worry as much about educational issues, but rather put food on the table. Prices of school supplies are very high, which is why many families wait for Good Neighbors' annual deliveries.
DRINKING WATER
Many of these children do not have access to water suitable for human consumption and sanitation.

How being sponsored helped put Otegung on her path to medical school.
”I lost both my parents when I was really young.”
“I remember staying up all night at the hospital when my dad fell sick. Ever since then, I have dreamed of becoming a doctor and helping others."
-- Otegung
Being sponsored for 6 years changed Otegung's perspective on life.
It allowed her to have a safe home, quality education, and medical care. She grew up in a healthy environment, with her sponsor's continuous dedication.
Thanks to the Good Neighbor's program, she was accepted into the National University of Mongolia to study medicine.
"Life was really tough before I got sponsored", says Otegung. "The biggest benefit for me was the emotional support I got."
"I would not have been able to be here today without my sponsor and the support of Good Neighbors. It is now my turn to help children in need. I want to become a sponsor and make a difference in someone else's life."
-- Otegung
