How long will my sponsorship last?

Your sponsored child’s family and community have much to do before their sponsorship goals are met. So you might enjoy years of relationship with your child.
It’s an exciting day when a sponsorship community meets its goals, families have control of their future, and a child no longer needs to be sponsored. Such success is certainly cause for a celebration!

World Vision looks forward to the completion of a child’s sponsorship. What a privilege it will be to participate in such a victory--to have your sponsored child’s family be able to say, "Thanks so much for your love and help...we can take it from here."

But occasionally, circumstances arise that make a child unavailable for sponsorship. Sometimes, a child’s family will move away from the area where World Vision is working. Or, your sponsored child may finish school and begin to earn an income, the start of a new and independent life.

Each child’s situation is unique. And whether your sponsorship lasts two years or ten years, your gift of love is sure to change your sponsored child’s life forever.

When your sponsored child leaves sponsorship for any reason, we’ll introduce you to another child who needs you.
