Wide Horizons For Children has been working with our partner in Ethiopia on the best way to help alleviate the problems related to famine. Individuals and families wishing to make a donation to combat the food shortage are urged to make a contribution to the child sponsorship program. This program allows us an established venue to get food and other basic resources to those most in need. Children enrolled in the program are from the most destitute and impoverished families in their communities. Sponsorship funds go toward food, medical care, and other basic needs. Proper nutrition and medical care are especially crucial during a time of famine to prevent and treat malnutrition among children.
