Sponsor a Child and change their life for better

Although India appears to be one of the world’s fastest growing economies, scratch below the surface and you’ll see the real story of many children living in abject poverty. By sponsoring a child today you can help provide them and their community with access to clean safe water, food, healthcare and an education.

  • About 35% of India’s population live on less than US$1 a day (Source: BBC website).
  • Poverty is at its worst in rural areas and is often accompanied by high levels of illiteracy and poor health.
  • India has the largest number of child labourers under the age of 14 in the world and 20% of children between the ages of 6 and 14 do not go to school. (Source: Unicef).


At World Vision, we believe the best way to change a child's life is to change the world in which they live. By sponsoring a child , you will help to bring about long-term benefits to the sponsored child, their family and community, so they have a chance of a better future.

What important issues does World Vision Child Sponsorship address?

  • Food security
  • Clean, safe water
  • Healthcare
  • Education

World Vision is one of the world's largest aid, advocacy and development agencies with its fundraising activities supporting long-term sustainable development programmes with communities in nearly 100 countries.
