Kindness has to be sowed, watered, and nourished before taking root in the heart. Change does not happen overnight but is rather the result of starting small and persisting. The parent-child Child Sponsorship programme creates twofold benefits: it improves the circumstances of a child living in poverty, while enabling your children to learn to care and share.
By signing up for Child Sponsorship together with your children, they will be able to gradually understand the needs of other children in the world, learn to share what they have with others, and make generosity a habit at a tender age.
Through Child Sponsorship programme, World Vision pools the donations of parents and children into Area Programmes that help sponsored children, their families and community members. It can improve children's growth environment and empower community members to become resilient through work in various sectors like water, health, education, livelihoods and child protection, so that communities would become self-sustainable and be free from the poverty trap.
Once you have signed up for the parent-child Child Sponsorship programme, your child will receive:
Your child will be matched with a sponsored child sharing the same month of birth. They will be able to connect and establish a friendship via drawings, letters, seasonal greeting cards, etc. Through regular sponsorship reports, you can also understand the needs faced by your sponsored child and the community and know about the projects that they benefit from because of your generous sponsorship.
Act now and cultivate your children’s generosity through a regular act of charity. Let’s help children, families, and communities in need, witness children’s growth, and bring about lasting change.
Become sponsors together with your children
As a sponsor for over 20 years, I still find it sweet whenever I receive a child’s letter. Even in our busy lives, we can still help needy children worldwide. Now, as a father, I’d gladly talk about Child Sponsorship with my girls, letting them know that they are blessed and that many children in the world need help.
We were poor but my father was enthusiastic about serving the community, and I realised that giving is more fulfilling than receiving. When I grew up, I sponsored children with my son, hoping that he would learn to be generous.
Child Sponsorship can teach my children to be grateful and have empathy. It tells them that the world is huge with plenty of needs, so it is important not to live just in their own bubble, but also care about others.
