VISEDAL Partnership Child Sponsorship Program

“Clothe Me, Educate Me, and Feed Me”

Picture yourself standing on a busy downtown street corner, washing car windshields and begging for a few coins. Your mom sells trinkets on the side of the road and your siblings work alongside you. Now imagine doing this all day, every day, in Nicaragua, the Western Hemisphere’s second-poorest country. This nightmare won’t end as you grow older, as you’ve had to drop out of school for financial reasons and therefore have no hope of finding a better job. The cycle continues, one depressing day at a time.

This theoretical situation describes the reality in which many Nicaraguan kids, deprived of their childhoods, are forced to live. In the midst of this tragedy, however, hope exists.

VISEDAL Partnership is pleased to introduce its Child Sponsorship Program. Through this program, you have the opportunity to give some of the world’s most underprivileged children a chance to recapture their childhood while gaining tools to help them escape the cycle of poverty.

The program connects sponsors in the US with street children in Managua. Through your support, each child can leave the streets and return to school. Your support covers tuition, uniforms, and school supplies, and provides each family with a monthly food allowance to cover the income lost from their kids leaving their work on the streets. Periodically you will receive updates and pictures from your sponsored child, provided by VISEDAL’s staff worker in Nicaragua.

VISEDAL is currently in the process of establishing itself as a legal not-for-profit organization, a move we hope to complete by this summer or fall. In the interim, unfortunately, we cannot offer tax write-offs.

To sponsor a child please contact VISEDAL founder and president Dylan Waugh via email (dylanwaugh@gmail.com) or telephone (410) 800-8555. Also, please do not hesitate to contact him directly with any questions.
