How Sponsorship Works

How can I help the poor through World Vision?

By helping children living in such extreme poverty we can enable them to experience the fullness of life God offers. Join World Vision and individuals all over the world as we seek to bring compassion and justice to the world's poorest people. As a child sponsor, you can help save a child from a life of poverty.

What is child sponsorship?

Wonderful things happen when you make the choice to sponsor a child. For only about $1 a day, you'll show your child God's unconditional love by providing them with access to critical resources such as:

• Clean Water
• Nutritious food
• Health care
• Education
• And more!

What do I receive as a child sponsor?

• A welcome kit with a photo and information about your sponsored child plus an introductory DVD
• The opportunity to write and receive letters and even email your child
• Annual progress reports
• Updated photos of your child

Will I get to know my sponsored child?

You'll also have the chance to build a relationship with your sponsored child that will transform both your lives. "I know my sponsor," says Solange, an 11-year-old sponsored girl from Rwanda. "She writes me letters. I love her very much."

How does sponsorship work?

The benefits you help provide extend to each child's family, their community, and other children in need. That's because World Vision plans and works alongside local community members to find solutions that will change the future for their children, and their children's children.

Why sponsor a child through World Vision?
