These children are orphaned by the Ebola outbreak and don't have families anymore to take care of them. NECS is looking for concerned and caring families to sponsor any child. Sponsorship will go toward meeting their education and living condition either monthly or yearly. Reports for sponsorship will be emailed every month on the use of funds.
