Sponsor a child today and change a life!

Access to school can be a real challenge for poor children in Southeast Asia. Sponsoring a child is a simple and efficient way to help a child to go to school.

With your financial support, Children of the Mekong will help your sponsored child can continue his/her education without fear of dropping out to go to work. Your letters will also give great encouragement to pursue their schooling despite the hardships of their lives.
