“Sponsorship, to me, is being a witness to God's love in this world.”

— Jonathan Roumie,
Unbound sponsor and actor


 

No greater feeling

When actor Jonathan Roumie wanted to find a way to give back that aligned with his values, he found that opportunity through Unbound.

“There's no greater feeling than knowing you've been able to change a family's life just through sponsorship. It's been amazing.”
— Jonathan Roumie

You can radically change someone’s life just as Jonathan has. Become a supporter and be a witness to God’s love in this world.



 

Support local, direct, community-led development



Sponsorship does more than change one child or one family’s future — it changes communities. With Unbound’s Agents of Change, small groups of parents in the Unbound program identify their community needs, apply for a small grant from Unbound, and work together to implement the solution. Contributions from generous people like you have helped groups install water taps, build bridges, repair schools and so much more, fueling safer, healthier and more productive communities around the world.
