What Does My Sponsorship Provide?

Your sponsorship helps provide for your child’s physical, educational and spiritual needs. These needs are met differently depending on the community your child is in, but include things like: nutritious meals, safe drinking water, health care, school tuition, tutoring, bible training and spiritual mentorship.

"When we heard about Forward Edge we didn’t hesitate to sponsor a child. I love that my children can see us serving the Lord with the money He has entrusted to us. I love the opportunity to correspond with our child and hope to one day further serve her and her community by serving on a missions trip to her village."

Gyebaleki (hello), my name is Bashir

  • location

    Uganda

  • 7 yrs. old

    04-30-2019

Entered the program: July 2025


Bashir lives with his grandmother and four cousins in a four-room plastered bungalow-style house with cement and dirt floors. Bashir shares a bed with his grandmother and a younger cousin. Electricity is supplied to the house but is not connected since the family cannot afford to pay for it. For lighting, they use candles or flashlights. They have an outdoor kitchen constructed of bricks and use firewood for cooking and boiling water. Water is fetched from a nearby community borehole, and when it rains, it is collected in a tank behind the house.They have their own toilet facility which is semi-constructed. The family raises some chickens and goats for food and income.

Bashir was abandoned to his grandmother's care and she is raising him along with four cousins. She is the sole provider and is unemployed. She makes a small income from the animals she raises but meeting the needs of her family is difficult.
