Does child sponsorship really help?
Absolutely! The money for sponsorship saves a child from a life of no education, poor nutrition, illness and poverty. There are no government welfare services in Nepal to help children who are poor. The conditions for children are particularly harsh, and over half of Nepals population are children. Half of them are malnourished and only 25% live with adequate sanitation. Less than 1/3 of girls attend high school, and child labor is pervasive.
