Sponsor a Child

All new child sponsorships will be set at a $50 per month with effect from 12 March 2025. This is an increase of $45 to $50 per month for child sponsorship. Click here to learn more on the reasons for the increase in child sponsorship contribution in 2025.

If you are an existing child sponsor, we will not apply changes to the monthly contribution for your existing child sponsorships without your consent, as we fully understand that each child sponsor has unique plans, and do not wish to cause any unexpected disruption. However, we would like to appeal to you to opt in to the higher contribution level if you are able to do so. 

If you are able and willing to update your contribution to $50, the increase will take effect on the next contribution date. (depending on your contribution cycle, yearly, half-yearly or monthly etc.) For example, if a sponsor submits the opt in request on 15th April, and the monthly contribution is on the 5th of every month, the increase will take effect on 5th May. If you are not able to do so, your contribution will stay at $45 and there is no need to do anything. Please know we remain very grateful for your willingness to give.

To opt in for the monthly/half-yearly/yearly contribution adjustment, please indicate your willingness to help here.

For donations made via credit card: the adjustment will take effect on the next contribution date upon receiving your agreement to opt in.

Ideally, Child Sponsorship is a long-term commitment lasting for the duration of our work in a particular community, which typically lasts for 10-15 years.

But how long child sponsorship lasts will be different for each sponsor. Some sponsors join us at the beginning of our work in their sponsored child’s community and others join us towards the end.

Sponsorship can end for a number of reasons. These include:

1. Our work in a community is completed.
2. Your sponsored child finished school or began to earn an income.
3. Your sponsored child’s family moved away from the community in which World Vision is working.

Whatever the reason, we’ll notify you when your sponsorship comes to an end. At that time, we can discuss how you can continue your sponsorship with another child.
