Action Aid UK gives African children a better life through their sponsorship scheme. So meet Sia…

Sia’s mother died when she was one and now she lives with her aunt, uncle and cousins in one tiny room. Her family cannot afford to send her to school and Sia spends her days collecting yams.

She dreams of becoming a nurse – but is this really possible in Sierra Leone? Yup… This is where you come in.

As an ActionAid child sponsor, giving just 50p a day, you could help a child like Sia to go to school and bring positive change to the lives of those who matter to her most – her family, friends and whole community.
