Sohan was born in Sri Lanka into a loving family with a mother, father, and sister. Tragically, when he was just one year old, his father passed away.
This left his mother as the sole breadwinner, forcing her to work long hours in a garment factory to support the family.
Seeing her struggle to make ends meet, neighbors contacted our partner in Sri Lanka for assistance. They then reached out to ChildCare International, who was able to find a sponsor for Sohan.
At the age of six, Sohan started school. Sponsorship through ChildCare International provided him with everything he needed to succeed -- education, clean water, meals, emergency relief and spiritual character building.
Sohan quickly distinguished himself as a bright student, excelling in all his classes.
He dreamed of attending university to study Computer Science.
That dream became a reality, and he successfully enrolled in university. Today, Sohan works as a Software Support Engineer and is now preparing to take the law entrance exam to further his education.
Sohan and his mother are deeply grateful to ChildCare International for their invaluable support. They appreciate the assistance they received and the opportunities it provided for Sohan to achieve his goals.
