Abdoul Fatao Ouedraogo is a bright 11-year-old boy (2025) living with his mother and father in a modest home in West Africa. Though neither of his parents has a regular job, their small farm provides enough food for the family during the rainy season. Life has its challenges: Abdoul’s house doesn’t have running water or electricity, so every day he helps out by fetching water from a well about 50 meters away. Despite these hardships, Abdoul is determined and full of hope, walking 1.5 kilometers to school each day, where he enjoys studying his favorite subject, math.

Abdoul enjoys playing soccer with his friends after school and dreams of becoming a soldier when he grows up. His family is Muslim, and they share strong values of faith and hard work. Sponsoring Abdoul can make a lasting difference in his life, providing him with more opportunities to learn, grow, and pursue his dreams, while attending Bible clubs where he will learn about the hope that he has in Jesus Christ.
