Sponsor A Child
You Can Help Save a Child From
Poverty
Living on less than
a dollar a day, more than one billion of the world's children are
all too familiar with extreme poverty. It has robbed them of hope
and threatens to steal their future.
We can help these children experience the fullness of life God
offers. Join World Vision and individuals all over the world as we
seek to bring compassion and justice to the world's poorest people.
As a child sponsor,
you can help save a child from a life of poverty.
Start building a better world for children today.
Become a child sponsor through
World Vision.
What is child sponsorship?
Sponsoring a child for just $1 a day
is a wonderful way to help change the life of a child in need and
bring hope to his or her entire community. Being a sponsor will give
you the chance to build a new relationship with one special child
who will know you by name as you correspond and share your lives
with each other.
How does sponsorship work?
When you make a gift, your
contributions are pooled with that of other sponsors of children in
the community where your child lives. Your child receives health
care, education, nutritious food, and the entire community benefits
from access to clean water, agricultural assistance, medical care,
and more.
The goal of World Vision sponsorship is to equip your child and his
or her community to step confidently into the future. That means
your sponsorship may last for many years. When your child and his or
her community reach this goal, World Vision can move on to serve
another community in need. When this happens, you’ll be given the
opportunity to sponsor a different child in a new community.
When you
sign up to become a child sponsor,
you join a family of more than 2 million others around the world who
share your commitment to change the world, one child at a time.
Why sponsor a child through World
Vision?
World Vision's child sponsorship
program creates real, lasting change for children and their
communities. Our compassionate, Christian staff show God's love to

the world's most impoverished places. World Vision partners with
sponsored children's communities over the long term to address
critical needs and help communities become self-sustaining.
