Waiting for someone to believe in her future.
Sponsor Fredrica — $40/monthWe’re changing the world one community at a time.
Vea sits in Ghana’s Upper East Region — one of the poorest places in West Africa.
Families here get one rainy season. Three months to grow a year’s food. The nearest clean water can be hours away.
624,000 children in Ghana are not in school
In the Upper East Region where we work, families survive on one harvest a year. Sponsorship changes that — for a child and an entire community.
Community 4 Change has been on the ground since 2009. Wells, community centers, and over 1,000 children sponsored across four countries.We call Vea family. We’ve been here since 2009. We’re not leaving.

Each place we work has its own reality. These are entry points into worlds most people never see.
Two ways to show up
Pick a name. Or support a country.
Some sponsors want a child to root for. Others want to give to a place they love. Both are real ways to show up.
From our sponsors.
“We started sponsoring a child in Ghana three years ago. The letters we get back are the highlight of our month.”
“I visited Vea with the church team. Seeing the wells, the school, the kids — you realize this isn't charity. It's relationship.”
“My kids picked their sponsored child together. It's become part of how we teach them about the world.”
Our Story
It started with one child.
In 2009, founder Micah Davidson traveled to Vea, a farming village in Ghana’s Upper East Region. He found a community with incredible resilience — and a boy named Eli who needed someone to help care for him.
He adopted Eli. Then he adopted the entire community.
What started as one family’s decision grew into a community that now spans four countries. Wells, schools, and community centers. Over 1,000 children sponsored since 2009.
Community 4 Change isn’t a program run from Austin. It’s a family that started in Vea.

Common questions.
Choose a child from one of our four communities — Ghana, Nicaragua, Honduras, or Belarus. Commit to $40 a month through a simple, secure checkout. Your sponsorship provides daily meals, education, medical support, and clean water. You'll receive updates on your child's progress and can visit your dashboard anytime to see your impact.
Your sponsorship covers meals, school fees and supplies, medical support, and community development like clean water wells. We've been on the ground since 2009 — donations are tracked and outcomes are real.
Yes. You'll receive updates and photos, and you can send letters and photos. Many sponsors say the letters are the best part.
Sponsorship continues as long as the child is in the program — typically through their school years. You can pause or stop at any time, and we'll work to match the child with a new sponsor.
Yes. Community For Change is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You'll receive a tax receipt for all donations.
We work with local community leaders and schools in each region to identify children whose families can't afford school fees, medical support, or consistent meals. Every child in the program lives in a community where C4C has an established presence.
We understand circumstances change. If you need to pause or cancel your sponsorship, just let us know. We'll work immediately to find a new sponsor for your child so there's no gap in their care.
We're small by design. We work in four countries with deep, long-term relationships — not broad, shallow programs. Our founder adopted his son from Vea, Ghana. Donations are accounted for and each child is known by name.
Fredrica is still waiting.
