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 Celina

  • location

    Uganda

  • 13 yrs. old

    11-11-2012

Entered the program: March 2025

Celina lives with her grandmother and sister in a two-room unplastered house with a dirt floor. They have electricity for lighting and use firewood to cook in their outdoor kitchen. Water is fetched from a nearby communal borehole and is boiled to drink. They have their own outdoor latrine.

Celina is specially-made. Her lower limbs are under-formed and her hands are not strong enough to grip. She uses a wheel chair for mobility, and with assistance from her grandmother and sister, Celina is able to go about her life quite well.
