The in-country cost covers all meals, transport and accommodation. It does not include air fare, personal expenses or additional expenses on gifts for the children and community you will be meeting.

No, there are no prerequisites. However, we do encourage you to consider sponsoring a child so that when you join us on the trip, you can fully experience the joy of meeting a child whom you are making a difference to.

Thank you for your interest in joining our trips!

Opportunities to witness the work, progress and impact that our programmes have for our beneficiaries

To explain it briefly, trips are opportunities for our supporters to experience and witness the work, progress and impact of our programmes that are implemented by our field staff. It is also a chance to appreciate the differences our work has made to the communities (our beneficiaries) and understand how the impact could be sustained even beyond our programme period!

Should the sign-up not meet the minimum number of trippers of 10 pax, the trip will not be able to proceed and will be cancelled. Trippers will be refunded the trip cost (excluding flights) in full.

Should there be any force majeure event in the country we are visiting that prevents World Vision from going ahead with the trip, trippers will be refunded the trip cost (excluding flights) in full.

Cancellation Policy (World Vision Trips)

1a Notice of cancellation must be made in writing to World Vision Singapore

1b Upon cancellation you will be liable to pay a fee to cover the unrecoverable cost & expenses incurred by us in the terms of the schedule set out hereunder.

The funds you donate will support World Vision’s Middle East Emergency Appeal. This includes:

• delivering hot meals, food kits and cash assistance so families can eat;
• helping repair schools and supporting students' learning;
• strengthening mental health services
• building health and safety in communities by strengthening clinics and providing fire-fighting equipment; and
• enabling access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene needs. 

World Vision has been working in the Middle East for over 50 years. Our teams are on the ground, assessing needs and responding with life-saving support, reaching the most vulnerable children and their families.

For children in conflict-affected areas of the Middle East, the sounds of armed violence have become a tragic regular reality. Schools that once provided hope and stability are now closed, with classrooms turned into makeshift shelters. Thousands of displaced families face uncertainty every day.

In Lebanon:  

One of the best things about child sponsorship is that it is a way in which people with average income can be involved in development work. Therefore, the monthly sponsorship rate is decided based on the country’s level of income and cost of living. In countries where the sponsorship rate is set at a lower level, it means support from more sponsors would be needed so that the funds required to achieve the development goals in the community can be raised.

We encourage sponsors to view sponsorship as a long-term partnership, but we understand that people’s circumstances change over time and sometimes, unexpectedly.

If you are unable to continue your sponsorship, please help us by encouraging a friend or family member to continue the sponsorship commitment.
