Through World Vision, a children's charity in Singapore, you can sponsor a child or support projects responding to specific charity needs including clean water, nutrition, education and livelihood. You can also choose to make a monthly donation to enable us to pre-position relief supplies to provide disaster relief readily when crises and disasters strike.
通过 Chosen®(童选)助养儿童的每月捐款为 50 新元。
赋予儿童自主权的一个关键要素，是给予他们空间去形成自己的见解，并根据自己的想法和兴趣采取行动。通过童选项目，儿童有机会亲自选择助养人，并通过助养人的照片建立更深的联系，而不是被动地获悉是谁选择了自己。
这仅仅是世界宣明会（World Vision）为赋予儿童自主权所采取的众多举措之一，也是我们“以儿童为中心、赋能社区”这一工作方针的组成部分。
Chosen® (童选) 邀请您将选择权交到孩子手中，从而扭转传统的挑选模式。这种做法从一开始就确立了基调，并切实体现了孩子们在生活中能够（也应当）拥有选择权。它强调，孩子们有能力主宰自己的人生走向。孩子们也会更积极地参与社区发展计划的多项活动，发挥更大的作用。
这是一种思维方式的简单转变，却充分尊重了每一位参与者的尊严和价值，它让那些生活在赤贫之中的孩子相信自己拥有改变自己未来的能力。
Chosen® (童选)助养模式唯一的分别在于助养人与受助儿童之间建立联系的起点， 是从孩童的选择开始。
在传统的助养模式中，助养人会选择要助养的儿童；而在全新的童选模式下，助养人需将自己的照片发送至社区发展项目的团队，由当地的儿童来选择助养人。这种全新的助养方式极具影响力，因为它颠覆了传统的选择主导权，让儿童在选择助养人时拥有更多的主动权。除此之外，世界宣明会（World Vision）的社区发展模式依然保持不变。
Chosen®(童选) 是一个全新的儿童助养模式，让孩子亲自选择自己的助养人。你可以挑选一张照片，并通过童选专属网页在线提交。
你的照片和姓名将被送往世界宣明会（World Vision）发展地区（ADP）让当地儿童进行选择。一旦孩子选择了助养人，你将收到该儿童的照片以及一封亲笔信，信中会讲述孩子选择你的原因。
最后，正如我们传统的助养关系一样，你可以通过寄送关怀礼物、互通书信，以及参加由世界宣明会主办的发展社区探访行程来与助养儿童建立友谊。
Our quick response does not undermine our focus to help effect long-term solutions. We assist victims to transit from the relief phase to the recovery and rebuilding phase. The latter includes permanent housing, clean water, sustainable sources of food, access to education, and re-established livelihoods. Our global risk reduction strategy educates communities, down to family-level disaster preparedness, and instills community-based disaster risk management programmes.
Children: In the context in which World Vision works, children are in greatest need of protection from further injury, disease or neglect, with assured attention to their basic needs, including psychosocial needs. While World Vision prioritises families in distribution and livelihood initiatives, our child-friendly spaces also provide children a safe place to play, begin emotional healing and re-establish a normal routine.
World Vision is a signatory to the Red Cross Code of Conduct – we commit to assisting people irrespective of ethnic, religious or political affiliations. Our emergency projects are in line with the Sphere Project’s Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Response, which outline internationally-recognised minimum standards for emergency response. As a member of the Humanitarian Accountability Partnership (HAP), we are also accountable to communities in our emergency response.
Having a Disaster Response Fund ready to use, the global pre-positioning resource network ensures we can respond rapidly to any disaster, with pre-positioned supplies (seven warehouses strategically-located worldwide), preparedness plans and trained staff worldwide.
Community development programmes include training in disaster preparation and prevention (e.g. first aid, how to respond to a disaster, improving the construction of buildings, developing early warning systems, and mapping potential threats and vulnerable areas).
