Think back to your high school days when all you wanted to do was to fit in and make friends with your classmates.
Now imagine going to school with a badly worn, patched-over uniform because your parents couldn’t afford a new one for you.
Gladness, a sponsored youth from Tanzania, faced this situation every day. But no longer, thanks to some help from a CFCA social worker, her mother’s diligent budgeting and a tailor’s magic touch.
Read the rest of Gladness’ story.









God bless Gladness for continuing her education in spite of the inability to have a new uniform. God gave her a sponsor who would provide the necessary clothes to wear to school….a gift for sure, something she will remember for the rest of her life. Theresa Howard, Alajuela, Costa Rica
I remember all to well going to school in handy-downs. WHile they didn’t have holes, they were definitely out of fashion and would make me feel so uncomfortable. I can’t even imagine having to go to school wearing what some of these kids have to wear. I am glad to hear that thanks to CFCA, these kids are being taken care of!
