How your sponsorship helps in Africa:

World Vision has been active as an aid organization in Africa for 40 years. In Africa, you can sponsor a child in Ethiopia, Burgundi, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Tanzania and Chad.

With the Helping people help themselves we pursue the goal with long-term project work life from children to improve sustainably in Africa. To be permanent Improvements in the lives of children in need are only possible, when their environment is changed. The help of a World Vision sponsorship is therefore not limited to the sponsored child – the family and the region of the child are also involved.

Help for the sponsored child

The help is based on the basic needs of your sponsored child and can medical supplies, sufficient nutrition, education or access to clean drinking water include.

Irvine Aboagye, World Vision employee reports that thanks to the sponsors in Diaso (Ghana), for example, four times as many children can now read as in the previous year. Also close in Chari (Chad) today 75% of children from primary school (previously 20%).

Help for the family

The family of your sponsored child also benefits from our extensive project work.

For example, farmers learn how to increase their harvests so that they can grow theirs Children get fed, and often get seeds and equipment. If you want to start a small business, you will learn everything you need to know about the basics of a trade. For improved hygiene, we give training and support families with building materials in latrine construction.

Help in the region

If World Vision starts project work in a region, the living situation of many families on site improves. Because all residents in the region benefit when the infrastructure improves, for example by building new wells, schools or health stations.

Examples today in the Kathiotte region (Senegal) almost every family has a drinking water connection. In 2007, only 42% of families had access to clean drinking water.

Sponsoring a child is a very personal form of support. At the beginning of the sponsorship you will receive a sponsorship folder with photos of your sponsored child, his family and information about his life situation and the country.

What a sponsorship can do

Your help for children in Africa

Child sponsorship is very personal form of support.

Yours Help works in three ways: As a sponsor, you are committed to improving the living conditions of your sponsored child, family and people in the region in the long term and sustainably. For example, by building new wells for clean drinking water, everyone benefits on site.

Helping people help themselves is our way that children and their families can overcome poverty, hunger and injustice in a sustainable manner.

Give the future: You enable children in Africa growing up healthy and educated.A sponsorship gives children a perspective and gives them the chance for a better future.

Personal contact: Mutual correspondence is a wonderful way to get to know the child and his surroundings better. The contact with the sponsor demonstrably motivates the children to make an effort at school.

You can cancel your sponsorship at any time and can be claimed for tax purposes.
