The goal of sponsorship is to bring your child and his/her community to health and self reliance so that they can face the future confidently. When your child and his/her community meet these goals, World Vision will move on to serve another community. Typically, our work within the community lasts between 10 to 15 years. The duration of your sponsorship depends very much on your personal conviction and preference. Your sponsorship may last a year or the entire duration of the community’s development. What happens if I need to discontinue my sponsorship?
Of course, we hope that you will stay on as a long term child sponsor so that you can witness the transformation within the community, made possible by your kind support. But if you absolutely have to terminate your sponsorship pre-maturely, please inform so that we can assign a new sponsor to your sponsored child. |
