Manuel is bright 12 year old boy who comes from a very low-income family. His father abandoned the family so Manuel now lives with his mother and 3 siblings in Guazapa, El Salvador. Manuel's mother works selling tortillas and Manuel helps by bringing ingredients home to make them. The sales of her tortillas are the only income the family receives leaving them to survive on just $50 a month. Because of their great need The GOD'S CHILD Project decided to help the children with a monthly scholarship and food and in 2010 the Project helped the family with the construction of a new home because their living conditions were so poor.
Manuel has received a scholarship from The GOD'S CHILD Project to help him pay for school since for 6 years now. Despite his young age he is a very responsible young man and has a great desire to improve his living situation and help his mother and siblings in the future so they can have a better life. He is very dedicated to his studies because he knows that an education is key to reaching these goals. He says "I want to do well in school so that I can get a good job when I grow up and can help my family."
Thanks to donors like you we are able to give children like Manuel the opportunity to go to school and have a brighter future. We hope that you will continue to support education for children in need by making another donation or sharing Manuel's story with your friends and family.
With Gratitude,
