“There are many sacrifices and hard choices made but it was all worth it because it is for our beloved angels. This is the same experience I have had with being a mother to our sponsored children. There were times when life was hard and it was so easy to give up sponsoring our children due to ever increasing expenses and challenges in life but we were committed to helping our sponsored children have a better future.” 

Amidst the number of out-of-school children and school drop-outs in the country, a notable estimate of 2,000 students graduate from school each year through World Vision’s Child Sponsorship Program.

In this month of love, World Vision invites people to share the same kind of love that can change lives—lives of children in need. With a very small act of kindness these children will be able to look ahead to better lives with better opportunities, all because you willingly opened your heart and share love!

Child sponsorship is an exciting journey of transformation – for the child you’re helping and for you – especially if you use all the tools available to help you bond with your sponsored child.

It works by linking a poor child to an individual/ group who is committed to give a regular gift of P600 a month per child or P7,200 a year. This regular pledge will enable us to help a poor child and create many opportunities for him/ her to have a better future.

When you sponsor a child, you’ll receive a welcome kit that includes a Picture Folder or your sponsored child’s photo and personal information. You’ll also have an opportunity to write and exchange letters with the child that you’re sponsoring.

World Vision will update you about your sponsored child through annual progress reports that will be sent to you. You will also receive a Christmas card from your sponsored child and acknowledgement or thank you letters for your gifts.

You’ll also receive newsletters through mail and/ or electronic newsletters (upon subscription). These will help you learn more about World Vision and how sponsors like you are making a difference to a child’s life, along with their families and communities.

I have been sponsoring a child from Palawan, named Dominic, thru World Vision, since 2004. I can’t believe how time flies by so fast. Then, he was only 9, excited to step on the 4th Grade. Now, he’s already turning 14, only 3 years shy of college. I simply cannot believe it. I am just so proud of this kid. He always tells me how he’s doing at school and his lifelong walk with the Lord.
