Why sponsor a girl?

Right now, thousands of girls urgently need sponsors to help them build a fearless future. Girls all over the world are being forced into violent realities like child marriage, child labour and abuse. Every single minute, 23 girls enter child marriage.

But these girls don’t need your pity – they need your anger.

Child Sponsorship pairs you with a child living in one of the toughest parts of the world.

By sponsoring a girl, you'll see that girl have more power over her future. You'll help her stay in school, so she can break free from the cycle of poverty and achieve anything she sets her mind to.

We urgently need child sponsors to transform girls' lives today.

FAQs

  • 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. 

  • With World Vision, you can sponsor a girl for just 85p a day, or £26 a month. This amount enables us run community-lead sponsorship programmes that not only helps your sponsored girl, but benefits four more children too. Learn more about how much child sponsorship costs.

  • The donation you give doesn't go directly to your sponsored child or family. 

    For maximum impact and efficiency, your monthly donations are combined with those of other sponsors to ensure consistent support for your sponsored child and their community, as well as other sponsorship communities around the world. This means your donations go much further.

  • If your circumstances change and you need to stop sponsoring a child, you can do so at any time. If you are thinking about cancelling your sponsorship, please get in touch with us, as there may be other ways in which you can continue your support. The child you sponsor will continue to benefit from the changes in their community and we will do our best to find a new sponsor for them. 

  • 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 opportunities that exist for them and we develop a long-term plan together to break the cycle of poverty.

  • As well as the peace of mind you’ll get knowing you are helping a young girl live her best life, your sponsored child will write letters to you, you’ll get photo and video updates on her achievements and create a lasting bond. This goes two ways, and you can also write letters and send presents to your sponsored child.
