Transform their life - and a whole community
Child Sponsorship transforms the lives of vulnerable children.
We work with children and their families in some of the poorest areas of Nepal, where we support families through emergency relief and via vocational training and farming supplies.
We help shield children from the worst of the effect of disasters, and help families build long term, sustainable income.
Sponsor a child in Nepal to give a child in need power over their own future.

Education can transform a child’s life and break the cycle of poverty. We’re improving basic literacy and numeracy and working alongside communities to help them better understand their children's rights, and raise their voices to protect and provide for their children.
We work with some of the most vulnerable children in the world, and protecting children is an essential part of everything we do. Children affected by extreme deprivation, abuse or exploitation, those vulnerable to disaster, or living with a disability.
We teach people about food from the 'ground up'. From protecting the soil, growing stronger crops, effective farming techniques, to kitchen gardens and nutrition and emergency food assistance in times of emergency, we help families feed their children and saving millions of lives around the world.
We save lives by training volunteer healthcare assistants, vaccinating children, and working with vulnerable families to help protect their children from infection and disease, including coronavirus. We also help them access healthcare services.
Each year children die from diseases caught by drinking dirty water. Sponsorship helps us build boreholes and clean water taps – so no mother has to choose between her children drinking dirty water, or none at all. Clean water saves lives, keeps children healthy, and in school.
By providing training in new skills, and supporting mothers to start their own businesses, we're helping families gain a stable income so they can afford the essentials, like healthcare, nutrition, and education.
When I used to see him getting letters and gifts from his sponsor, it used to make me happy
Mangal
Father of Santosh, former sponsored child
21-year-old Santosh used to be a sponsored child – his sponsor helped to provide him with stationery and helped to pay for his school uniform. But what he remembers most is the letters.
“The letters used to arrive either once a month or once every two or three months”, he says. “I used to receive stickers and other gifts from my sponsor.”
Once a shy child, Santosh recently attended a mobile repair training course organised by World Vision and became determined to open his own repair shop.
His shop is now thriving, his confidence has increased greatly and his father has been able to retire. He's thankful for the difference his child sponsor made, saying, "I don’t know what I would’ve done without their support."

World Vision has had a Child Sponsorship programme for more than 70 years, we pair donors with a vulnerable child who needs protection and empowerment.
Child Sponsorship brings much-needed change to more than just one child — the benefits you help provide extends to each child's family, their community and other children in need.
This is because World Vision partners, plans and works alongside local community members to help build healthy, sustainable communities for vulnerable children in the world’s hardest places. Learn more about how Child Sponsorship works.
All of World Vision's work begins with listening to communities in need. Community leaders work with us to identify the most vulnerable children and families who will benefit from Child Sponsorship.
We work with national governments and other international agencies to identify the regions and communities that are most in need and where the most vulnerable children live. We then meet with community leaders and the wider community to gain a greater understanding of the challenges and the opportunities that exist for them and we develop a long-term plan together, to break the cycle of poverty.
