Unbound achieves milestone of partnering with 1 million sponsored friends

Unbound celebrated a milestone in the organization’s 42-year history in summer 2023 when it achieved partnership with 1 million sponsored friends.

This historical moment means Unbound sponsors have given 1 million children, youth and elders who were living in poverty across three regions of the world hope for a brighter tomorrow.

With sponsorship, children have access to education, while their families find opportunities for safe and secure housing, support for a small business, access to livelihood and leadership trainings, and much more.

“Thanks to the generous support of our Unbound community, we’ve made a real impact, a million times over,” said Unbound interim president and CEO Ashley Hufft. “We are excited to continue walking with the children, elders and sponsors of our Unbound community as they chart their own path out of poverty.”

Unbound co-founder Bob Hentzen once said, “The adventure is just beginning.” Thanks to sponsors, with the achievement of 1 million sponsored friends, the adventure continues while the journey toward lifting 1 million more out of poverty begins.
