We are urgently looking for 500 new sponsors to make an incredible difference to the life of a child like Tibie.

People who will not stand idle as children in the world’s poorest communities go without clean water, enough food or the chance to go to school.

For just €25 a month you can make a real difference to their future!

What will I receive as a child sponsor?

  • A photograph of your sponsored child together with details about their family, background and circumstances.
  • A Welcome Pack that will give you detailed information about the community your sponsored child lives in and gives you details about how you can write to your sponsored child.
  • Within a few weeks you will receive a letter from your sponsored child translated into English.
  • If you choose to write to your sponsored child, you will always receive a letter back.
  • Annual reports that give you a detailed picture about how your sponsored child is growing and another which outlines the community development.
  • Personalised Christmas and birthday cards that you can send your sponsored child.
  • Online access to World Vision’s annual report so you can see exactly how your money is being spent.
  • But most importantly, you will know that for a small gift every month you make a huge difference to the life of a child.

Anne Fitzgibbon from Frankfield has been a World Vision child sponsor since 1996.

“What I like about World Vision is their accountability. It’s very clear exactly how much of my money is used to support community development,” she explained. On a 2008 trip to friends in Tanzania's capital Dar-es- Salaam, Anne also visited five-year Tabu and her family who live in the Mundemu Area Development Programme in Tanzania. “It was a fascinating and inspiring experience,” she continued, “Tabu’s family literally had nothing - but World Vision had a thought-out plan to create sustainable development in the area. I was truly impressed by everything I saw and wouldn't hesitate to recommend World Vision's child sponsorship to anyone."
