The cost of sponsoring a child

Sponsoring a child with World Vision costs just €27 a month.

And because of our community-focused solutions, for every child you help, four more children benefit too. Why? Because we work together with whole communities, with faith groups and churches, with local authorities and local partners, we can help children get what they need in the best way. We have an international presence, working with partners, communities and donors in almost 100 countries to make a key difference to vulnerable children in need.

When you give through Child Sponsorship, your monthly donation is pooled together with those from other sponsors to create lasting change in your sponsored child’s community, as well as other sponsorship communities around the world. 

Where your money goes

The best way to change a child’s life is to change their whole community.

We work together with communities to tackle the root causes of poverty.

By sponsoring a child, you protect them today and empower them tomorrow.

Do something incredible today.

"Before we travelled to Uganda to meet Yazidi and see the work that World Vision is doing, we received regular reports on Yazidi's progress and health. So, we already knew that our sponsorship was worthwhile. But after travelling to Uganda, we saw firsthand the difference our sponsorship makes, not only in one little boy's life but the ripple effect that sponsorship has on his school and community."

How being sponsored changed Nancy's life

Growing up in Kenya, Nancy watched as all her friends were forced to grow up too fast.

One by one, the girls in her class left school to become child brides. She worried that her family wouldn’t be able to afford to send her to school for much longer. But thanks to Child Sponsorship, life in her community started to change. She excelled at school and went much further in life. ​

Hear Nancy share how her sponsor, Georgie, encouraged her to reach her dreams.
