What you can expect as a child sponsor
When you sponsor a child, your support allows us to work with the child’s community on long-term development projects. Your contribution of £22.80 a month is pooled with that of other sponsors to fund essential development projects that will benefit children, families and communities for generations.
Of course, this wonderful transformation doesn’t happen overnight and the work that goes on in each community varies according to its specific priorities. Yet steadily and surely, as life for the child you sponsor and their community improves, you’ll see the positive changes taking place through updates and progress reports. You may even hear directly from the child as they write to you and tell you how their world is changing. It is this unique window on the developing world that makes World Vision Child Sponsorship such a joyful and fulfilling way to make a difference.
While your money is not sent directly to the child you sponsor, you do have the opportunity to form a relationship with them and see the changes you are helping to make in their lives.
A chance to change lives
When you sponsor a child, you have the opportunity to help change not just the life of a child, but their family and community too. We ensure that each child has only one sponsor. However, many people choose to sponsor more than one child.
You’ll also have the chance to write to your sponsored child or even visit them to see firsthand the improvements brought about through your support.
