Sponsor A Child

Name: Balong

Country: Philippines

Birthday: 07/24/2016

Nethan, affectionately known as Balong within his family, resides in a small village situated 5 kilometers away from the Barangay Hall and Health Center. His father earns a living primarily through farming, working diligently to provide for their family and prioritize his childrens education as a means to alleviate their challenges. Their modest dwelling is constructed from semi-concrete materials, and the household chores are shared among family members, reflecting their strong sense of responsibility and unity. Despite the distance from urban amenities, they have access to electricity and utilize firewood for cooking. Their drinking water is sourced from a nearby spring, ensuring their daily needs are met. Balong excels academically, holding the top position in his class at the primary level. He embodies joyfulness and kindness, finding delight in playing, watching television, and immersing himself in books and writing. Balong aspires to become a policeman in the future, driven by his desire to assist his parents and contribute positively to their familys welfare and the community at large.

Ending child poverty begins with Balong. It’s easy. It’s impactful.
