How does child sponsorship work?

 

You can sponsor a child with World Vision from just RM65 (Asian countries) or RM80 (Non-Asian countries) per month. Your contributions are pooled together with that of other child sponsors and channelled towards holistic development in your sponsored child's community. Depending on the needs in their community, the work may focus on:

  • Child Protection

    Child Protection

    Creating safe and supportive environments is essential for protecting children from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and other forms of violence. This requires empowering and collaborating with entire communities, including children themselves.
  • CLEAN WATER

    Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)

    Access to clean water, dignified sanitation, and hygiene services through well-drilling, latrine installation, and hygiene training decreases child mortality and removes the burden of water collection.
  • Education

    Education

    Unlocking brighter futures begins with providing children access to learning opportunities, resources, and well-trained teachers, complemented by parents’ understanding of their crucial role in their children’s education.
  • Health & Nutrition

    Health & Nutrition

    Good health is the foundation of a child's life. Access to essential services, vaccinations, medical clinics and training in disease prevention provides stronger health, for children and their communities.
  • Livelihoods

    Livelihoods

    Besides food distribution, we prioritise creating productive, resilient and sustainable livelihoods through skills training such as agricultural techniques and financial management. This helps families better provide for their children.

    Frequently Asked Questions

      When you sponsor a child, you are making a commitment to support not only the child but also their community. Your sponsorship contribution does not go directly to the child and family; it will be pooled together with other sponsors’ contributions to facilitate long-term, holistic development work that breaks the vicious cycle of poverty. The child is also an ambassador for their community, giving you an opportunity to be more personally connected to the work we do.

       

      To improve the lives of children, it is necessary to start by addressing the most pressing needs of the community in which the children reside. As the community improves, adults will have the opportunity to improve their lives and be more able to care for the children.

      The duration of your sponsorship depends on your personal conviction and preference. Your sponsorship may last a few years or the entire duration of the community’s development, typically 10-15 years. A child may remain sponsored up to age 21.

       

      The goal of child sponsorship is to bring your child and their community to health and self-reliance so that they can face the future confidently. We hope you can continue your sponsorship until the work is completed so that you can witness the transformation made possible by your support.

      Contributions from child sponsors are pooled together to be invested in long-term development programmes that will give your sponsored child(ren), their family and community a brighter future. World Vision works to develop and improve the following in the communities we serve:

       

      • Child Protection
      • Livelihood
      • Health & Nutrition
      • Education
      • Water, Sanitation & Hygiene

      It's really simple and you can sign up online (here)

       

      An auto-reply email will be sent to you once the online sign-up form goes through. Once we receive your first child sponsorship contribution, you will receive a welcome pack within 2-3 weeks (digital copy).

      World Vision’s Child Sponsorship Programme is possible because parents/guardians allow their children to take part in the programme. However, there are times when World Vision has to remove a child from the programme. Possible reasons include:

       

      • The child has completed his/her education and is no longer actively participating in the programme
        If your sponsored child has completed his/her education and is no longer actively participating in the programme, World Vision will remove him/her from the programme. Your child may be self-sufficient and able to support themselves by then. For example, when he/she starts work and help support his/her family.

      • The child/family has moved out of the area
        Better prospects in a new area would prompt the family of the child to move on. Since the child/family is no longer in the community, our project office cannot provide help and monitor the child’s progress. As such he/she can no longer participate in this programme.

      • The child/family no longer want to be in the programme
        World Vision does not force parents to register their child as a sponsored child, and parents may choose to opt out of the Child Sponsorship Programme for reasons such as privacy, or when they feel they do not need to enrol their child in the programme to enjoy the benefits that are provided to their community.

      • The family becomes self-supporting
        Thank you for making a difference! You have played a special part in bringing transformation to a child/family in need. World Vision will remove the child from the sponsorship programme so that the opportunity for sponsorship can be extended to another child in the community.

       

      If your sponsored child is no longer in the programme for these or any other reason, we will ensure that you’re informed as soon as possible.

      We understand that circumstances can make it difficult for sponsors to keep a monthly commitment, and that many may not be able to provide monthly support indefinitely. If you have to cancel your sponsorship, please inform us and we will arrange for a new sponsor for your sponsored child. Alternatively, you could encourage a friend or family member to continue the sponsorship commitment.

      Yes, you may choose based on four criteria, namely their country, gender, age and birth month.

      Unfortunately, this is not possible because every World Vision office supports projects in different countries. This allows us to spread our resources and help people in about 100 countries worldwide. World Vision Malaysia supports children and their communities in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia, Lebanon, Lesotho, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam.

      If this happens, it would mean that: (i) we currently do not have children available for sponsorship from that particular country or (ii) that World Vision Malaysia does not support a project in that country. It is our hope that you would consider sponsoring a child from a country that is currently listed.

      World Vision’s Child Sponsorship Programme is not implemented in Malaysia.

       

      If you would like to support Malaysian children, we encourage you to consider supporting our Malaysia Assistance Fund. World Vision Malaysia, with the assistance from local partners, run Community Development Programmes in Mukim Tulid and Tatalaan, Sabah. Our goal is to empower the indigenous community in terms of capability and skills so that they can build a sustainable future for the long term. 

      Yes. Each child is assigned to one sponsor. You may share your sponsorship with a friend or a group of friends. In which case, you can sign up as “May Ling & friends” or “Mr & Mrs Selva”.

      The website will state the area the child lives in. You can search by using the left/right arrow buttons to proceed to the next child’s details. Keep going until you find another child from the same community/area of your preference.

      The child will be available for sponsorship again after three hours.

      The Child Greeting Video helps you to get a more authentic perspective of a child, which includes the language they speak. Moreover, it would be costly and time-consuming to translate every Child Greeting Video, thus impacting our limited resources.

       

      Please note that Child Greeting Videos are not available from China due to their government policies.
