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."

Habari (hello), my name is Skymillan

  • location

    Kenya

  • 6 yrs. old

    02-24-2020

Entered the program: November 2025

Skymillan lives with her father’s cousin, his wife, and their son in a three-room plastered house that has a cemented floor and a corrugated roof. They have electricity for purchase and fetch water from a borehole that they boil for drinking. They have an outdoor kitchen and use firewood and sometimes charcoal or propane for cooking. The family has a good bathroom facility and a pit latrine.

Skymillan is the only child to her parents who separated after she was born. Her parents are both addicts and that, plus the constant conflicts between them, led Skymillan’s mother to attempt drowning her in a tank full of water when she was a baby. Luckily, she was rescued by her father’s cousin, who took her into his home. Her parents are not in contact with her. Skymillan’s guardians are casual laborers and they go out each day to search for work to provide for their family’s needs.
