Frequently asked questions?

How do I sponsor a child?

You can easily sign up to Sponsor a Child page on the sponsor a child page or by calling our Supporter Care Team on 353 1 498 0800.

What you get when you sponsor a child?

How involved you are in the life of your sponsored child is completely up to you. You’ll receive regular letters, photos, and updates from them, and you can write back and send small gifts if you wish.

Some of our sponsors - and their families - have built great friendships with their sponsored children, and even visited them. You can read about Shemi and her sons’ relationship with their sponsored child, Vincent, here.

How do you choose the children that will be sponsored?

All of World Vision's work begins with listening to communities in need. Community leaders work with us to identify the most vulnerable children and families who will benefit from Child Sponsorship.

How can I be sure my money gets to those in need?

World Vision only works within countries where we have our own offices so we can be sure that we can account for all the money that we receive and how it is used. We have audited accounts that are publicly available at any time. As a charity, we're regulated by the Charities Regulator – a legal body, which oversees all Irish charities and their activities. We are a not-for-profit organisation, and we know that the continued support we receive is dependent on our efficient use of supporters’ money. See our Annual Reports here.

How do I write to the sponsored child?

Yes – and just like children here in Ireland – your sponsored child will be so excited to receive a letter! Your Welcome Pack contains the postal address of the World Vision office in the country where your sponsored child lives. All letters are translated by the World Vision office – yours to your sponsored child, and vice versa. Please do bear in mind that many sponsored children live in remote areas which are up to a day’s journey from the World Vision office which receives the post – and one of our APs can only be accessed by boat! At other times of the year such as rainy season, flooding can cause disruption and slow down the channels of communication. But we will always do our very best to deliver your mail to your sponsored child – even if it takes some months to get a reply back through your letterbox! Read our writing guidelines here.
