Sponsor a child in Ethiopia
We urgently need your help. The worst drought in over 60 years has taken hold of Ethiopia and other counties in East Africa and more than 12 million people are in desperate need of food and water supplies. The region including Somalia, Kenya and Uganda has seen no rainfall for over 2 years has caused over 3.2m people in Ethiopia alone to be critically short of food.
East Africa Food Crisis. Donate Today.
Child sponsorship helps increase a community's resilience to drought. Sponsor a child in Ethiopia today by donating online and help World Vision to provide the essential aid needed as a result of the food crisis. Poverty in Ethiopia has meant that many families are unable to find any food to eat or water to drink and the resulting affects of the food crisis have been devastation to livestock and shortages in supplies, pushing the prices of food beyond the financial reach of most.
HOW IT WORKSWorld Vision Child Sponsorship works by changing a child's life through changing the world in which they live. We are committed to using all contributions to our work wisely and effectively. 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. In 2010, 83 percent of our total operating expenses were spent on programmes that benefit children, families and communities in need. |

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.
