Zahara McCoy – Children of Grace

Why is Western sponsorship still so important in helping end the stigma and the poverty connected with HIV/AIDS? Brent talks with Zahara McCoy of ‘Children of Grace’. Zahara grew up in rural Uganda, lost both parents to HIV/AIDS, and was nearly married off as a child before a Christian family in California sponsored her education.  Zahara now lives in the US and leads ‘Children of Grace’, a non-profit supporting thousands of Ugandan children.    (0:40) Zahara’s childhood; (4:20) Caregiving for her mother; (6:00) The HIV/AIDS epidemic in Uganda; (7:10) Sponsorship; (14:30) Early experiences in America; (16:10) Faith; (22:45) Children of Grace; (25:15) Sponsorship.
