Child Sponsorship is a unique experience that allows you to develop a one-to-one relationship with a child living in poverty. You make monthly child sponsorship gifts that allow your child and his or her community to rise out of poverty.
You can see what a difference your gifts make because you get annual progress reports and updated pictures from your sponsored child. You can also exchange letters or even visit if you wish.
The best way to help a child out of poverty is to transform the community they live in. This leads to sustainable change in a child’s life. World Vision has over 55 years experience in helping children. We start by involving the community.
We work together to tackle problems like lack of health care facilities, inadequate education, ignorance, and limited income earning opportunities for parents. If necessary we look at water and sanitation, food supply and nutrition. We work with the community to over come the causes of poverty and be sure that your sponsored child is healthy and attending school. We also prepare the family to earn more so they can provide better food and more care for their children.

If your home country is not listed, you can still sponsor a child if you make your monthly gifts by credit card. Just choose a country from the list, which operates in your own language. While in most countries gifts are eligible for tax deduction, this will not be the case if you do not sponsor in a country where you pay taxes.
