This little beauty is 4 year old Ruerhene, from the Philippines. She is my first sponsored child through Children International. I decided to give them a try after dropping one of my Compassion sponsorships. I've heard many good things about Children International, and they are a bit cheaper per month than Compassion.
Ruerhene will turn 5 years old on June 15. She lives with her unemployed mother and has no siblings.
They live in a concrete block home with a corrugated metal roof. She has no bed, but instead sleeps on a mat on the floor. Electricity is available in their community, but it is not affordable for her family. Their water source is a neighbor's faucet.
I am thrilled with the level of detail you get from Children International about the specific living conditions of your sponsored child. It's one thing to know the average income for the community, and what most houses are constructed from, but it's another thing entirely to know all those specifics of your sponsored child and his/her family.
