World Vision are a wonderful organisation who devote time and resources into creating sustainable safe communities and I’ve had a fantastic experience watching 2 children develop and grow in videos and letters. I fully recommend them as the money truly goes to the people who need it.

Impressed with World Vision's efficiency.

Very impressed with the different ways World Vision keeps contact between the sponsors and the sponsored. They are good at giving reminders of up-coming important events in the life of the sponsored child as well as offering a choice of ways of keeping in touch.
Their administration is very good with accurate information being kept about letters sent and received, videos sent. All information is recorded on my account.
A very positive experience.

My son requested this charity gift as part of his birthday present. What a lovely generous thing to do.
I have used World Vision several times now. The website is easy to navigate, the card arrives quickly and is good quality.

World Vision enables us to share in the life of our sponsor child

We are currently sponsoring our second child through World Vision. In previous years our work took us around the world and no matter where we found ourselves we always received feedback on our sponsor child. We love hearing about what they are doing, how they are faring and how they are growing. World Vision is one of those rare organisations that truly invests in people and their communities to make their lives better! We’re so grateful to be a part of that opportunity to help and to share the life of our sponsor child to some degree.
Keep up the wonderful and inspiring work, World Vision!

Such a great way to make a difference

This is a great way to make a difference and know what you are doing really does help. I have supported other projects to dig wells etc in the past, and while I am sure these projects have delivered, I don't get any feedback. World Vision is fantastic and I really feel involved with a community on another continent.

Keep it up World Vision

We've been with World Vision for over 25 years now. We have always received frequent updates on our sponsor child's progress from WV, along with the regular annual updates, family news, Christmas card, birthday messages etc. WV also keep us up-to-date with the work they are doing across the globe and it really makes us feel part of something special. Luvvit! ✌🙏☮

Worthwhile cause

A worthwhile cause to support and something to buy for a non-materialistic person who doesn't really want a Christmas present.
However, response time could have been better - I ordered an e-card on the 24th December and the email only arrived on the 27th. One expects electronic cards to be delivered by return, really.
Apart from that, thanks for the amazing work you do to support the world's underprivileged children and families!

Worth while sponsership

A superb website and a brilliant way to help a child have a better future. It was amazing to see a video of the child, making it so much more than just a name on a piece of paper. Very impressed.
