Child sponsorship is a way of providing long-term support for children, their families and communities, whilst providing a rich and rewarding experience for donors.

Child sponsorship establishes a relationship between a donor and a child in a way that personalizes the challenges of community development, while allowing donors to see how their money is making a difference to the life of an individual child, their family and community.

World Vision Vietnam’s sponsorship program is implemented across all Area Development Programs (ADPs), and uses sponsors’ donations to improve the welfare of children, their families and communities. Interventions focusing on agriculture, education, health, childcare and protection, micro-enterprise development, economic assistance, emergency relief and mitigation, disability and capacity building are tailored specifically to the individual community’s needs. This unique and holistic approach encourages community participation and ownership, builds a firm foundation for the project’s sustainability and ddresses the root causes of poverty.

A total of 71,500 registered children are in World Vision Vietnam's sponsorship program.

World Vision Vietnam is a national office and does not directly raise funds for local sponsorship, however, is responsible for sponsor relations- creating effective communication and building relations between donors in developed countries and sponsored children in Vietnam. Every year, World Vision Vietnam processes and translates hundred thousand letters from sponsors and replies from children. These have helped form meaningful relationships between sponsors and sponsorship children.

World Vision Vietnam receives sponsorship funds through its Support Offices, which have the responsibility of raising funds and directly interacting with sponsors. If you wish to sponsor a child from Vietnam, you should contact one of World Vision's Support Offices, where a customer service officer will go through the steps in becoming a child sponsor.
