Why sponsor a child through World Vision?

Sponsoring a child through World Vision is unique because we look at all the things that prevent children from surviving and thriving in their community. Then we work with each sponsorship community to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together to build a better future for all children.

You can exchange letters and photos, and even visit your sponsored child, but we don’t just give sponsored children cash every month. Instead, we pool monthly sponsorship donations and leverage them for maximum impact. We call this our community development approach.

Depending on the needs of your sponsored child’s community, things like clean water systems, improved schools, health clinics, farming co-ops, pastor training, and community savings groups create a vibrant, sustainable future for every child. And since 95 percent of our staff work in their local regions, they know the culture and can help create tailored solutions for every community.
