What is World Vision child sponsorship all about?
Child sponsorship is an effective and fulfilling way to help give a child from a poor community the chance of a brighter future. In order to thrive, children need to grow up in an environment that provides the essentials that they need today and hope and opportunities for tomorrow. Children need to enjoy good health and be cared for and protected. They need to be educated for life, be welcomed to participate in decisions that affect their lives and be free to choose to love God and their neighbours. That’s why sponsors’ contributions fund vital development work in their sponsored child’s community, so that over time the well-being of children significantly improves. World Vision works with community groups and the children themselves to plan and carry out changes so that more children will gain opportunities to fulfill their potential in life. Sponsors witness these changes through progress reports from the community and personal communication with their sponsored children. Sponsors ca
