| Stewards of God’s Resources
For example, instead of buying a bottle of costly drinking water for each sponsored child, World Vision can combine sponsorship dollars to build a well that will benefit all children in the community as well as generations of children to come. The contributions of sponsors are pooled at two levels — at the International Office and the project level. When sponsors send in their monthly donations, World Vision coordinates the disbursement of funds for all sponsorship projects at its international office in Monrovia, California, in order to most efficiently process and allocate contributions. Although costs for sponsorship vary from country to country, World Vision requests similar sponsorship pledges for all projects. This allows World Vision to operate simply and efficiently, creating a more stable environment for sponsored children despite fluctuating currency values and economies in each country. Once those gifts for sponsorship are received, World Vision separates out the predetermined money every country needs based upon the number of sponsored children and the economy in each country. The sponsorship project then receives the money as one lump sum and uses it for community-wide interventions. This method allows World Vision to efficiently steward sponsors’ gifts not only at the project level, but also at the international office level where gifts are sent proportionate to the need. This way sponsored children receive consistent and appropriate assistance. |  | 1-888-511-6548 : P.O.
