Be the difference in the lives of children all over the world

Here in Canada, we're blessed. But around the world, there are millions of children who suffer every day without the essentials of life like food, water and education. In fact, according to the World Health Organization, 7.6 million children under the age of five die every year. Most of these deaths are linked to preventable and treatable diseases as well as poor nutrition.

We can all come together to make a difference in the lives of these children.

By sponsoring a child, you can provide the essentials they need to live, learn and have a better life. Be the difference and make their dreams reality.

Sponsor A Child And Help Change A Life For Good

When you sponsor a child through World Vision, you are giving that child an opportunity to live a life without poverty. For about a dollar a day, your sponsorship will provide the essentials that child needs to grow and learn in their environment.

A part of helping individual children is helping their communities, too. By combining sponsorships within an area, we can fund development programs that provide education programs, food resources, improved water conditions, health care programs and establish preparations for emergencies over a period of 10 – 15 years. By creating sustainability within the community, we give children the best opportunity.

And these opportunities are yours to see.

When you sponsor a child, you will receive an information packet all about your sponsor child and where he or she lives. You will learn about the family, how they live and what they do for fun. Over the time of your sponsorship, you will also see how you have changed their lives. You will have the chance to communicate with them through letters, and to create an even more unforgettable bond, you will have the option to visit them on one of our World Vision overseas trips.

Thousands of Canadians just like you are already sponsoring children. Join them today, and start seeing the bigger difference we can make together.

Give Gifts that Change Lives

When you buy a gift from the World Vision Canada Gift Catalogue, you are providing a resource that can change the life of a child and their family.

From food, to water wells, to medical aid and business help, these gifts provide the means for families to survive and grow into self-sustainable communities.

Plus, by purchasing a gift in honour of a loved one, you can share the gift of life with the ones you love.

Partner With World Vision And Be The Difference In The Lives Of Children Everywhere

Sponsoring a child and buying a donation through the gift catalogue are two great ways to change the lives of children. They aren't the only ways you can help though.

There are many other ways you or a group can partner with us. Through volunteering, overseas trips, fundraising initiatives and other events, you can become a part of the World Vision family.
