Name Maylin Orbeli Gender Female Age 5 Hobby playing with dolls Location Honduras Change Maylin Orbeli's future for only 75p per day Maylin Orbeli is waiting for a World Vision sponsor. She is 5 years old and lives in Honduras .
Maylin Orbeli lives in western Honduras. Although the land is fertile, many families have only a small patch on which to grow food. This problem has led to low productivity and high levels of child malnutrition. Many families survive by working as day-labourers on nearby farms, often for very low pay. Accessing quality education is another challenge. The lack of trained teachers means that many children are taught by volunteers who did not finish primary school themselves. World Vision is working with communities to tackle these problems. By sponsoring Maylin Orbeli, you can help give children in Honduras a better start in life.

Name Zoya Gender Female Age 7 Hobby playing with dolls Location Armenia Change Zoya's future for only 75p per day Zoya is waiting for a World Vision sponsor. She is 7 years old and lives in Armenia .
Zoya lives in an agricultural region of Armenia. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was a breakdown of collective farms and the privatisation of rural lands became common. This meant that farmers were left without assets and the financial means to cultivate their land and support their families. Child malnutrition was the result. One of the ways we are helping to change the fortunes of many children in the area is by supporting a community-based organisation that supplies tractors to farmers. This is helping to increase farmers’ output. This gives them the means to support their families. Help us to continue this initiative by sponsoring Zoya today.

HELP STOP EARLY CHILD MARRIAGE
Each day an estimated 3,500 girls will marry before reaching their 15th birthdays.
Another 21,000 girls each day marry before the age of 18. Child marriage, particulary when the girl is younger than 15, has wide-ranging and often damaging effects on the lives of the girls involved and by extension, their children and communities.
Not only is child marriage a violation of children's fundamental rights, it also poses a severe health and protection risk to girls and any children they conceive.
And it's not only girls who are at risk. The sheer scale of boys subjected to marriage is largely hidden but the impact is just as devasting.
Sponsor a child today and save a childhood.

By combining funds donated by child sponsors and other individuals with corporate donations and government grants, we ensure that all gifts given to us have maximum impact.

WHO WE ARE
World Vision brings real hope to children in some of the world’s hardest places as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love. We work with governments, local authorities, community groups and individuals to bring lasting change to the lives of millions of children. In whatever we do, we place a special emphasis on ensuring the needs and rights of children are met, because they are often the hardest hit by conflict, disaster and chronic poverty.
SPONSOR STORIESRosie sponsors five-year-old Nareh in Armenia. When she first started sponsoring Nareh, she never knew quite what an impact her contribution would have on the young girl’s community – and on her own daughter. “It is very rewarding to know that the money sponsors send is being used so constructively. I’m also pleased that it is benefitting the whole community, as well as my sponsored-child's family. My daughter, Daisy, is also five-years-old. She loves the letters and photos we get from Nareh and often talks about her. She even refers to Nareh as her ‘sister in another country’. Our hope is that they will continue to write to each other as they grow up.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does sponsorship help children?
Millions of children around the world need help to break the never-ending cycle of poverty. Hunger weakens them. Unsafe drinking water makes them sick. Missing out on an education keeps them from reaching their potential.
As a sponsor, you will help provide a child with sustainable access to appropriate life-changing basics like nutritious food, clean water, healthcare, and education.
Child sponsorship also helps families and communities lift themselves out of poverty by providing job training, business coaching, small loans, along with training to help poverty-affected farmers learn new ways to irrigate and grow crops.
Will I get to know my sponsored child?
You'll be given the opportunity to personally connect with your sponsored child — building a relationship that could change both your lives. "I am so happy to have a friend in another country that I can write to and share pictures with. " says Nareh from Armenia “I am studying the Armenian alphabet. When I learn them all, I will teach them to my distant friend. I am so happy to have a friend in another country.”
What do I receive when I sponsor a child?
Every child sponsor receives:
• A welcome pack with a photo and information about your sponsored child
• The opportunity to write and receive letters, send birthday and Christmas cards and even email your child
• Annual progress reports
• Updated photos of your child and their community
How does child sponsorship work?
Sponsorship brings change to more than just one child — the benefits you help provide extend to each child's family, their community, and other children in need. That's because World Vision plans and works alongside local community members to help build healthy communities for children in impoverished places.
World Vision partners with sponsored children's communities over the long term to address critical needs and help communities become self-sustaining.
