In 2025, Bambini nel Deserto celebrates an important milestone: 15 years of Child Sponsorship. Fifteen years of commitment, stories of growth, and children who, thanks to the solidarity of many, have had the opportunity to study, build a future, and break the cycle of poverty. It all began in Thies, Senegal, where some children struggled to attend school. Their families, burdened by extreme poverty, often couldn’t afford the quarterly tuition fees. Thanks to the generosity of our first sponsors, we were able to provide financial support for years, allowing these children to complete their education. The success in Thies was just the beginning. Over time, our efforts expanded—first to Benin, then to Burkina Faso and Mali—where we supported, and continue to support, children living in orphanages and foster homes. Seeing some of them not only complete primary and secondary school but even reach university fills us with pride and strengthens our belief that Child Sponsorship is a powerful tool for change. Today, after 15 years, our commitment remains unwavering. Child Sponsorship continues to provide opportunities for children who would otherwise struggle to access education, ensuring they also receive meals and medical care when needed. Thanks to those who believe in this project, we can offer many children the chance to build their own future. Every contribution opens a door, fulfills a dream, and changes a life. Let’s continue this journey together—because every child deserves a brighter tomorrow.
