What is KIS sponsorship?
Sponsoring a child for just $30 a month is a wonderful way to help bring hope, and transform lives, by giving children in need across the globe the tools they need to create better lives for themselves, and their entire communities. Being a sponsor through Relief Inc.’s Sponsor a KIS Program will give you the chance to provide opportunity for a child in desperate need, and to build a new relationship with one special child. Sponsor A Child In School Living on less than a dollar a day, approximately one million Liberian children are all too familiar with extreme poverty. It has robbed them of hope, and threatens to steal their future. Fortunately, through the active participation, and generosity of our sponsors, Relief Inc. is providing opportunities for children in desperate need in Liberia. Sponsors play a fundamental part of our program of helping children overcome the mind-set of poverty. Join Relief Inc., and individuals all over the world as we seek to bring love, and compassion to the world’s poorest people. As a KIS sponsor, you can help these children experience the fullness of life, and help save a child from a life of poverty. Will you sponsor a child now? I strongly believe, that through the weapons of LOVE AND COMPASSION, we will combat war, and terrorism by reaching out our hand, and helping the families that have been devastated by the 14 ½ years of war. |

My name is Annie Y. Kollie, age 30 and a single mother now residing in Totota, Bong County, Liberia I am a mother of two children (girls) whose father died in 2009 in Firestone, Harbel, Margibi County-Liberia. My children father left the home on one faithful morning during the early hour of the day in search of food for the family. The area by then was occupied by Ex-combatants of various warren factions, who were in hunt for food and practicing cannibalism. My children father did not return home that day or night. Being so concern of about his return, I alarmed in the community so a search teams were placed in the nearby bushes to search for him. After five days search, his corpse was discovered in a river called DU, about ten miles away from the town where we lived. His mutilated body was then taken away from the river by the search teams and then buried. It was later discovered that, these ex-combatants killed my children father for ritual purpose. After two year and a half in Firestone with my children after the death of their father, I decided to relocate in Totota, Bong County with my children to one of my uncle. Since then, my two daughters (Sangai Kollie-12years, and Helena Kollie -8years) have been left with me without a father. I am an eleventh grade student. Presently in school and just got promoted to the 12th grade. Sanagi Kollie got promoted to the 4th grade while Helena to the 1st grade. As a single mother, it has been very difficult fetching for food while looking for tuitions for my kids. Most of the time I have to go out every weekend to sell for my friends to get provisions for my two kids and me. Many days, they are sent out of school for tuitions and other fees, like while myself. Actually, life is now like a struggle for survival for me and my beloved kids. We are barely surviving by the grace of God. Thanks and stay bless.
Teta StewardsDONATE NOW 
My name is Teta Stewards, a 9th grade student of the Totota Lutheran Parish High School, Lower Bong County. I am 21 years old, a single mother residing on the Lutheran compound in Totota. In an effort to support the child education system of our country, I struggle hard this semester to register my son (Jeremiah Morris) who was borned 7, 2012 in a Nursery School in pursuance of a brighter future for him even if I would not earn for myself. As an orphan from age 16 and a single mother now, it actually gets tough on me most of times being in school and sponsoring my son too. His father left me when I was six months pregnant. Since I gave birth to my son, I have not lying eyes on his father yet. Some sources say that he left our community for the southeastern part of Liberia in fear of not having money to support me and his unborn child. Base on the above situation, I am scarcely managing life trying to further the both of us education and looking for food for us to eat daily. We are striving on one meal a day with our country economy getting worst per day. As I write this real story of my life, I am praying and with the conviction that someone somewhere with the heart of God reading this story will be led to stretch out a hand in our direction in Liberia for my son’s education. Many thanks for taking out your precious time in reading my life story and for your assistance in advance. Teta Stewards Single Mother and Orphan
Martha KerlieDONATE NOW 
My name is Ms. Martha Kerlie, age 34 and a single mother living in Gbarnga City, Bong County, Liberia. I am a mother of two children (boys) whose father expired in 2013 Gbarnga City, Bong County-Liberia. After living in Gbarnga for years, my children father began working and earning for our family while I started engaging in some petty business to assist the home. In early 2012, my children father came from work complaining of stomach pain. Few days after, he could not stand but cried from the severe pains both days and nights. I immediately took him to the Phebe Hospital in Suakoko District for medical checkups. He stayed at the hospital for few months but his health was not improving at all. So his parents advised that we seek another place besides the hospital. In the family meeting, it was generally agreed to take him to Guinea where they felt he would have recovered from that unknown illness. While in Guinea, some days he looks good and another day, he gets worth and worth. After one and half years, my children father died in Guinea 2013 from that illness that could not be diagnosed. We spent our last money just to get him back on his feet, but to no avail. From the running around for his illness, my petty business broke down with no capital or way of getting loan from anywhere to start again. Since 2013, my two boys (Nuwoe Kennedy-14 years and Emmanuel Kennedy--12years) have been left with me without a father or any family assistance. Because of their education, I left school to struggle and hustle for them to continue theirs. I assist some friends to sell just for us to eat. Nuwoe Kennedy got promoted to the 6th grade while Emmanuel Kennedy the 5st grade. Because of the constraints in getting them to school this semester, we moved from our rented house to a friend of mine house so I could use the money I had to pay the rent to register them. Is not easy being a single mother for these children wanted to gain further education along with feedings and housing. Now I am not even sure of getting the semester tuitions as I write this soul touching story of me and my children. Thanks for listening to my story and hope God Almighty will touch the heart of someone to rescue my children for be out of school.

The doctors could not diagnosed his case but kept crying from his stomach ache, severe headache and great dread down in his body structure. In continue effort to get him recover, the family took him to the Tapita Hospital in Nimba County, but still proof futile. After departing Tapita Hospital brokenhearted, the mother took him to an unknown traditional herbalist in Lofa County near the Guinea border. He stayed there for some months in an off and on health situations. It was same until that faithful day in 2015 when he expired during the Ebola crisis in Liberia. Since his death, I have had difficult time in trying to educate my children (Tarnue Kessellee, 11 years in grade 5 and Prince Kessellee, 8 ½ years in grade 1 respectively) since their father’s sickness and death cost the family a huge financial breakdown. Presently, I strived very hard to get them in school for this year first semester but not sure of how I can get them in for January 2017 second semester.
