Summary: Debby and her family are the central figures in the WVUS story that includes sponsorship, the Christmas gift catalog, and the WVI Global Power Claim that because of our community-focused solutions, for every child you help, 4 more children benefit, too. The family lives in Moyo AP in southern Zambia: start date October 1, 2009.

Today they live in a sturdy home with a tin roof, instead of a grass-thatched roof that leaked. Obby says the WVI Global Power Claim is true. “A lot of children who are not sponsored benefit from the children who are sponsored. One borehole drilled in the village is not only for the sponsored children, but all t
