Mariam’s Story

Impact: A life-changing difference for one special child

Hundreds of children like 9-year-old Mariam could be helped because of you. Mariam lives with her mother and two sisters in a one-room apartment in poverty stricken Gyumri, Armenia. Several years ago the girls’ father left the country to look for work, and never returned—leaving the family with no means of support.

Often, the best their mother could feed them was sugar water. Sona, the youngest, became so malnourished that her hair was falling out in patches.

Everything changed when the three girls were chosen to be sponsored. Mariam and her sisters now enjoy three good, hot meals a day at school. Mariam has become a diligent student who aspires to be a teacher. And the children know they are loved. Every letter from their sponsors is treasured, with the newest always tucked beneath their pillows.

World Vision sponsorship is life-changing for children like Mariam because it ensures that Mariam and her sister have access to things like clean water, health care, improved nutrition, and education.


Sponsorship has changed Miriam's life.
You can become a critical partner in helping us reach more children like Mariam who are waiting right now for a sponsor. As a volunteer, you can link these children living in desperate need with sponsors who care.
