Maria Sindilo

Maria was born at the end of March quite prematurely. Unfortunately her mother died shortly afterward and Maria stayed at the government hospital almost three months to gain weight! She’s now about 2 kg (4.4 lbs), which is still teeny tiny! We are planning for her to return to her extended family once she’s a bit bigger.

Would you consider being her sponsor?


Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.
