Help a child go to school!
When you choose to sponsor a child at God's Grace for Kids Hevie, you give him or her an opportunity to break free of illiteracy, lack of education and poverty.

#1 - NOUTAI Abigaël
Age: 4 years old
She has 3 brothers and 2 sisters, and lives with her parents
When Effort Is No Longer Enough A Family Fighting, A Little Girl Waiting
Abigaël lives in a family of eight where every day is a struggle for survival. Her father loads goods and takes any job he can find. Her mother sells small items and wakes before dawn to haul heavy baskets of vegetables to the market. Their courage is immense, but poverty is stronger. Despite all their efforts, there is never enough for school fees, uniforms, or notebooks. Each time her parents try to enroll her, a crisis hits: rent, sickness, a day without sales... and her chance slips away again.
Abigaël watches her siblings go to school and wonders when her turn will come. She is bright, curious, and full of life, yet held back by circumstances she cannot
control. Sponsoring Abigaël means more than paying school fees. It means breaking the cycle her parents cannot escape, giving her a seat in a classroom, a daily meal, and the chance to dream without fear.
Give Abigaël the future her family’s courage deserves.
#2 - ALLEY Axim
Age: 8 years old
He has three brothers and lives with his parents
When Courage Is No Longer Enough
Axim is a bright little boy whose smile hides a story far heavier than his small shoulders should bear. His parents fled Cotonou when rising costs made life impossible, hoping to rebuild elsewhere. But survival followed them. His father travels 50 km every day to work as a crane operator, leaving before sunrise and returning late at night, exhausted and worried. His mother sews on a broken machine just to keep food on the table. Yet, despite all their courage, their income barely covers rent and meals, school is a luxury they cannot afford.
Each day, Axim watches other children walk to class, while his own dreams wait at the door. Not because he lacks the will to learn, but because poverty has stolen his chance. Your support can change everything. It can give Axim the education he longs for, restore hope to a family on the edge, and transform courage into opportunity.
Help Axim rise where hardship tries to hold him down.
#3 - HOUNHOUENOU Brunelle
Age: 5 years old
She has 2 brothers and 1 sister, and lives with her mother
Give Brunelle a Chance for a Future
Brunelle is a bright little girl whose dream of going to school is slipping away. Her mother, abandoned by her husband, struck by a severe stroke, and now living with partial paralysis, struggles daily to care for her children with almost no support. Despite her courage, the family’s hardship is overwhelming. Brunelle’s older sister had to stop school to help, and Brunelle risks losing her chance to learn. Your support can change everything.
Give Brunelle the opportunity to go to school, and restore hope to a mother fighting alone.
#4 - GNANCADJA Daren
He has 2 brothers and lives with his parents
A Dream on Hold: When Poverty Stops a Child Before He Starts
Daren lives with his parents and three older brothers in a modest home where every day is a quiet struggle. His father runs a tiny shop, stretching every coin between rent, food, and survival. His mother, once selling food under the hot sun, was forced to abandon her trade and now fights to rebuild from nothing.
Daren is the youngest, bright, eager, and still waiting to start school. Not because his parents don’t care, but because poverty keeps interrupting every attempt to enroll him. A rent crisis, a medical bill, the price of food... and his dream is postponed once again.
Without support, Daren risks becoming another child full of potential but trapped by circumstances beyond his control. Sponsoring Daren means giving hope to a family on the edge, and giving a little boy the chance to learn, to dream, and to believe in a different tomorrow.
#5 - AVOCETIEN Divine
Age: 3 years old
She has three brothers and lives with her parents
Give Divine the Chance Her Family Cannot Afford
Divine is a little girl surrounded by love, but love alone cannot pay for school. Her father, elderly and exhausted from a lifetime of work, now takes any small job he can find just to keep the family afloat. Her mother, unable to read or write, watches other parents help their children learn and silently hopes Divine will one day read for both of them. Their older children study far from home, leaving the house filled with longing and sacrifice.
Education is the only light they cling to, yet every month, that light grows dimmer as poverty tightens its grip. Divine dreams of books, classrooms, and a future where she can help her parents rest from a lifetime of struggle. But without support, those dreams may fade away.
Sponsoring Divine is more than giving a child an education, it is answering a family’s unspoken prayer, honoring a father’s sacrifice, lifting a mother’s silent hope, and giving a little girl the future that love alone cannot provide.
#6 - KPOSSOU Egnon
Age: 4 years old
She has 2 brothers and 1 sister, and lives with her parents
A Childhood on Hold: When Poverty Steals a Little Girl’s First Chance to Learn
Egnon is a bright little girl full of promise, yet she has never stepped inside a classroom. Her father, once a truck driver, now struggles to survive after losing his job. He raises a few chickens, rides a motorcycle taxi when he can, and fights every day against a reality he can no longer outrun. Her mother, selling small bags of charcoal, does everything she can but her earnings barely keep the family fed.
Their home is filled with love, but love cannot pay for notebooks, uniforms, or school fees. And so Egnon watches other children walk to school, while she stays behind, not because she lacks intelligence, but because poverty has closed the door before she could even knock. Her father’s heart breaks each time he looks at her. He dreams of seeing her learn, grow, shine... but all he can offer right now is hope.
Sponsoring Egnon is not just helping a child. It is reopening a future that life tried to shut. It is giving her the chance to learn, to thrive, to become the little girl she was meant to be.
Choose Egnon. Choose to transform despair into possibility.

Save Ezéchiel’s Future

Some days there is no food. School, clothing, and even shelter are beyond her reach.
Ezéchiel dreams of going to school. But without help, his future will be stolen by poverty. You can change his story.

#8 - ADJOMAYI Gaël
Age: 4 years old
She has two brothers and lives with her parents
Give Gaël the Future She Dreams Of
Gaël is a bright, motivated little girl whose eyes light up at the sight of books and colors. She dreams of learning, discovering, and one day lifting her family out of poverty. But life has dealt her family harsh blows. Her parents, once a photographer and a hairdresser, lost their livelihoods. Forced out of Cotonou by rising costs, they now fight daily just to survive. Her father sweeps the streets. Her mother can no longer practice her trade. And even with all their courage, they cannot afford the education Gaël desperately needs.
Today, Gaël’s future hangs in the balance. Her dreams are strong... but poverty is stronger. Without help, she risks losing the very opportunity that could change
everything. Your support can rewrite her story:
- It can turn struggle into hope.
- It can open the classroom door that life has tried to close.
- It can give Gaël the chance to learn, grow, and become the woman who transforms her family’s destiny.
Sponsor Gaël. Help her turn determination into a brighter future.
