You are ready. An Exponential Impact
from 2019 Newsletter
At a young age, Marjorie dreamed of becoming a nurse or a teacher, but poverty denied her the opportunity to pursue higher education. The oldest of five children, she tried to fund her education by working different jobs to pay school fees but struggled in her studies because of the difficulties she experienced. “By God’s grace and blessing, I was favored to be one of WHI sponsored children around the world,” she said.
“I studied at Batotitik Mission Academy Institute (BMAI), Batotitik, Philippines, and [this] made a big difference in my life. Though along the way there were still struggles and challenges with peers and family needs, I continued to pursue my studies.”

That was several years ago. This year, Marjorie graduated with a BS in Education. She also received an award for the Best Thesis Defense.
Sponsorship enabled Marjorie to complete school and empowered her to pursue higher education and unlock a future of opportunity for herself and her family. But not only did this investment in her life make all the difference to her personally; she is now investing in the lives of other children.
Marjorie has returned to work at BMAI and hopes to encourage other children in achieving their dreams, no matter the challenges they may face.
“To WHI supporters… from local to international, thank you for choosing me among kids to be one of the scholars. I am thankful for the opportunities and lives used by God to help people like me and giving me the chance to know God and have a better future.”
In order to maximize the impact of the sponsorship program, WHI focuses on partner schools and specific villages, varying the program slightly to adjust to cultural specifics and community needs. This lets us attend to children’s holistic needs, including building wells in schools or villages, providing training for parents and community leaders, and more.
You can book a Child Sponsorship Event for your community, organization, or church or request a Child Sponsorship Event kit! Learn more about sponsorship options at www.worldhope.org/sponsor.
