Purpose Stories

When viewed from a global perspective, eradicating poverty may seem like an insurmountable endeavor. Fortunately, you can see how feasible it really is when you focus on making a difference in the lives of just one child at a time. The Good Purpose Project’s Purpose Stories are a small way of sharing the immense difference that the generous support of our sponsors and volunteers makes.

Empower a child like Mercy

Meet Mercy, a two-year-old girl who lives in a kiosk with her mother in an impoverished community. She was abandoned by her father at an early age, making her mother the only breadwinner in the family.

Unfortunately, her mother’s only source of income comes from sewing clothes. The financial hardship faced by the family made it difficult to provide Mercy with food, shelter, education, and healthcare.

Mercy was discovered by our team during a field visit. She was immediately registered and connected to a sponsor. Thanks to the monthly stipend received from her sponsor, Mercy is now enrolled in school and with the provision of three healthy meals daily, she no longer suffers from malnutrition and hunger. The intense love and support she receives from her sponsor has given her hope to rise above her circumstances.

Build a relationship with a child like Majid

The sponsorship that 4-year-old Majid receives has been a blessing to him as well as his four siblings, who also enjoy the constant healthy meals that the help of their brother’s sponsor provides. Majid now goes to school without his parents having to worry about how to pay his fees, and he gets everything he needs for his education each term. He and his family may live in an uncompleted building for now, but things are coming together for him through the generosity of others.

Majid’s unemployed mother and sick father are deeply grateful for the sponsorship that makes everyday life a little more comfortable for Majid, and the rest of their family.
