Child Sponsorship – Help Save a Child from Poverty
Living on less than a dollar a day, more than one billion of the world's children are all too familiar with extreme poverty. It has robbed them of hope and threatens to steal their future.
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.
Start building a better world for children today. Become a child sponsor through World Vision.
What is child sponsorship?
Sponsoring a child for just $1 a day is a wonderful way to help change the life of a child in need and bring hope to his or her entire community. Being a sponsor will give you the chance to build a new relationship with one special child who will know you by name as you correspond and share your lives with each other.

How does sponsorship work?
When you make a gift, your contributions are pooled with that of other sponsors of children in the community where your child lives. Your child receives health care, education, nutritious food, and the entire community benefits from access to clean water, agricultural assistance, medical care, and more.
The goal of World Vision sponsorship is to equip your child and his or her community to step confidently into the future. That means your sponsorship may last for many years. When your child and his or her community reach this goal, World Vision can move on to serve another community in need. When this happens, you’ll be given the opportunity to sponsor a different child in a new community.
When you sign up to become a child sponsor, you join a family of more than 2 million others around the world who share your commitment to change the world, one child at a time.
