How Much Does It Cost To Sponsor A Child?
                     How Much Does It Cost To Sponsor A 
Child?
SPONSOR A CHILD
• When it comes to giving back to society, one of the best ways we can take up is to 
sponsor a child and donate for education. Child sponsorship not only helps bring up backward 
communities but can also help guide large-scale change in the country. When you sponsor a 
child, you donate for education as well as the future of our country!
• One of the primary ways World Vision India uses child sponsorship money is by using funds 
from donors towards holistic community development. 
• Why does World Vision India’s Child Sponsorship programme focus on community 
development? Why direct my money to my sponsored child’s community? Why not use it only 
to meet my child’s needs? If you have similar questions in mind, this is for you!
DONATE FOR EDUCATION
    Children are always at the heart of our work and our focus 
is specially aligned to the development and empowerment 
of children. When children are fed, educated, protected, 
valued, and loved, a community thrives. If you sponsor a 
child, you essentially donate for education of a community. 
Similarly, through large-scale child sponsorship, entire 
communities have their needs met.
     World Vision India follows a community-based approach to 
ensure child well-being. And there are strong reasons 
behind taking this approach. This sort of approach means 
that we look at several dimensions of the lives of the 
children we help. Of course, the educational dimension is 
immensely important. But, by giving equal importance to 
societal and health related indicators, we believe that there 
is a greater and longer lasting impact in the child’s life.
CHILD SPONSORSHIP
Our experience over the last 60 years has taught us that the best way to impact a child’s 
life is to change the world in which the child lives. Child sponsorship does not simply tend to 
only the child’s immediate needs, but rather toward their all-round development.
Through our community-based approach, we try to foster development and not dependence. 
We can look into the root cause of poverty and address it, thus contributing to the holistic 
development of children. It may be assumed that once you donate for education, the work is 
complete. However, that is misleading. Simply putting money aside for education when you 
sponsor a child isn’t enough, the child sponsorship money needs to be put toward improving 
the social life of the children.
The entire community is empowered and made to understand that children are the best 
indicator of a community’s social health. Children can thrive in an environment where they 
are valued and positively influenced by the community. We build the resilience and capacity 
of communities to respond to present and future challenges to child well-being
Strengthening communities and families create a 
safety net that empowers children to experience the 
fullness of life for generations to come. Thus, when 
you sponsor a child through World Vision India, you 
not only change the life of your sponsored child, but 
you help the whole community grow. Come, sponsor a 
child today, and work with us at World Vision India to 
donate for education!
