Estrella lives with her mother and older sister in a one-bedroom house made of adobe brick with a tin roof and concrete and dirt floors. They share a piece of property with another family member, but each family has their own kitchen space. They cook with wood and have access to water from a hose on the property. The bathroom is outdoors.
Estrella’s mother became a single parent when her husband abandoned the family in 2022. Estrella had not seen her dad since then. Estrella’s mother is the sole provider for the family and works farming other people’s fields as well as her own.
Estrella’s sister, Mayrin, is also in the JUCUM program.

When you sponsor a child, you’re not just providing essentials like nutritious meals, clean water, education, and health care. You’re helping unlock something far greater—their God-given purpose. You’re creating a bond that goes beyond meeting needs, showing them the love of Christ and guiding them toward a future filled with hope.
Select a child to sponsor and step into their journey with an ongoing commitment of at least $38 a month. By doing so, you'll be part of God's plan for their life, providing vital resources like education, meals, and spiritual guidance.
Receive your sponsor kit, complete with your child's detailed profile, photo, and special gifts. Get to know their hopes, dreams, and challenges as you begin a meaningful, life-changing relationship.
Share prayers, encouragement, and love through letters and photos. Your words have the power to shape their faith and future, offering hope and strength as they navigate life. You can even visit your child on a short-term mission trip!
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:
We specialize in quality mission trips, affording you the opportunity for meaningful face-to-face time with your child.
Our programs focus on education – the #1 factor in breaking the cycle of poverty.
We place high value on personal communication with you as a sponsor.
