Give a Special Gift to your sponsored child

You can give a Special Gift to your sponsored child and their family that is just what they need. It’s easy to do — and the blessings will overflow to impact the whole community.

Simply login to myworldvision.org to give your Special Gift. Then, our local staff will work with the family to find out what they need most and buy the gift nearby to help support local businesses. It could be things like a bike, school supplies, clothing, or something else they could really use. After the special gift is purchased, you will receive a special thank-you letter and photo of your sponsored child with their gift!

Why are Special Gifts also shared with the community?

Since the best way to help a child, and to help all children thrive, is to strengthen their entire community, 25% of all gifts under $200 and any amount over $200 will go to help your child’s community. (Please note that gifts for the community may not be acknowledged in the thank-you letter you receive from your sponsored child. However, be assured that your gifts are being used wisely, and may be reflected in your annual Community Accomplishments Newsletter.)

How often can I give a gift?

We have been asked by our field staff to limit the number of special gifts given to an individual child to no more than 1 per year. The primary reason is to reduce jealousy in the community. It also takes considerable time for World Vision staff to process, which takes them away from caring for the well-being of all children in the community.
