Sponsorship for young people

Life instead of flight

Two Brazilian youngsters from our project with Centro Sabia.

Young people in Africa and Latin America have a hard time. Many suffer from violence and crime. Yet young people need prospects in order to use their potential. They are the engine of society and the future of tomorrow. With a sponsorship you give young people a real chance: a future worth living in their home country.

Luiz: "Giving life a positive turn"
Many adolescents in El Salvador have only two options: Escape to the USA or join a criminal gang of youths. Poverty and violence are omnipresent. At the age of 14, Luiz joined a mara and shortly afterwards ended up in prison. At our partner organization Quetzalcoatl, Luiz learned that there are alternatives to crime. 

Today the young man works as a social worker and says: "I dream that one day peace will prevail in El Salvador and that the gang wars will come to an end. I know from my own experience that you can give your life a positive turn."
