No girl should have to live in fear. But every girl you know has. Every girl you know has walked home scared, made a fake phone call, held keys in her hand, rounded a corner and run. Every girl find themselves in danger everywhere and poverty pushes it to another level. But you can help a girl today.

Add your message of hope for vulnerable girls around the world! Let them know you care, let them know they are not alone.
We believe that every child, regardless of gender, is born with the same set of rights. Every child deserves to be nurtured, included, supported and empowered to live life in all its fullness.
However, gender inequality is still rampant everywhere – across cultures, religion, social groups and education levels. Girls across the world face threats such as child marriage, child labour, female genital mutilation and sexual violence.
In conjunction with International Day of the Girl on 11 October, we want to raise awareness of the problems that affect girls around the world and promote girls’ empowerment.
Child sponsorship is the most personal and effective way to empower children, families and communities to break the cycle of poverty.
When you sponsor a child, you are paired with a vulnerable child in a community World Vision is working in and have the opportunity to build a personal relationship with the child. You will receive photos, videos and progress reports of your sponsored child and their community. You can also communicate with them through letters or send them gifts, and visit them in their community!
Your monthly contribution will be pooled together with that of other child sponsors and channelled towards ho- listic development in your sponsored child’s community, giving them access to education, clean water, nutritious food, healthcare, and protecting them from child marriage and violence.

This monthly contribution will be pooled together with that of other child sponsors and channelled towards ho- listic development in your sponsored child’s community, giving them access to education, clean water, nutritious food, healthcare, and protecting them from child marriage and violence.
Child sponsorship is more than just a financial support. When you sponsor a child, you build a meaningful rela-tionship that encourages the child to reach for a future beyond hardship and poverty. You also gain front row seats as you watch your sponsored child learn, grow and achieve milestones in life!
