Why World Vision is in Chad
We never give up on people
World Vision child sponsorship looks at all the things that prevent children from surviving and thriving in their community, and then works with that community to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together to build a better life for all children. For sponsors, it’s a personal way to show God’s love to a child in need in a life-changing way.

Progress in Chad
Thanks to the generous support of donors, we’re making great progress toward the well-being of children and their families.
Child Protection and Care
Boys and girls are safe and valued, well cared for by their families, and participating in their communities as agents of transformation.
- Around 700 children have improved access to government services after receiving their birth certificates to become acknowledged as citizens becoming legal citizens and receiving their birth certificates.
- Children in Chad are learning how to be change agents in their communities after being involved in World Vision's children clubs. The clubs provide a safe place for children to play and learn how they can be leaders in their community.
Healthy Children and Families
Children and families are well nourished, protected from infection and disease, and have access to essential health services.
- Families are equipped to grow more healthy food for their children after World Vision provided them with seeds and tools.
- In Chad, World Vision helped improve both access to vaccines as well as information about their importance. As a result, the rate of individuals protected from preventable diseases by vaccines grew to 87%.
Education for Better Lives
Children have opportunities to learn and to develop their talents, young people are equipped for the future, and families and communities support children's education.
- Students are improving their reading and writing skills in Chad, after 56 teachers received professional development and training on improved teaching methods.
