Other ways to support World Vision

Along with these alternative gifts, there are other ways to support the work we do around the world. As a Christian charity, we are inspired by our faith to help children living in some of the hardest places.

If you aren’t sure that a charity gift is right for your recipient or are looking for different ways to donate on your own behalf, you could also consider sponsoring a child, giving a one-off donation or leaving a gift in your Will.
