Nomin, a 16-year-old girl from rural Mongolia, is living proof that sponsoring a child can open up a world of possibilities. When Nomin was sponsored in the first grade she received the support she needed to grow, learn and thrive.

Access to clean water was the main challenge in Kaung's village. Due to unclean water, children often get sick of diarrhoea while adequate health facilities are in shortage.

It is really heartening to know that since the start of the programme in 2015, Antique, Philippines has seen great improvements over the years. More children are receiving education and more households receive necessities such as electricity. I believe the goal of improving the wellbeing of children can be met. 

The pandemic and political unrest in his country turned his life upside down. But Child Sponsorship helped him pull through, and now 16-year-old Doe is inspired to chase his dream to help children and individuals in his community.

 

13-years old May is a registered child of World Vision Myanmar. She was adopted by her uncle and aunt because of her mother's poor health since she was young. Due to the country's political situation and the COVID-19 pandemic, her family completely lost their job, and is struggling to find food and continue her education.

 

The long-running conflict in this corner of South East Asia pops up occasionally in the news, but for the children living in Myanmar, it’s a daily reality that’s shaping their future. These 5 key numbers give a snapshot of what’s happening in Myanmar and how child sponsors are a lifeline to hope.

"The main takeaways I have from this trip is that service requires so much humility and patience. It is only when we humble ourselves to really learn and listen to the needs of the community that we can truly serve and be of value and help. This was truly an insightful and humbling experience for me. I am extremely blessed to witness every single individual's inspiring acts of love."

This trip assured me with a greater confidence that the work done by World Vision and the devoted and passionate staff in Cambodia will work their best to assist more vulnerable families living in developing countries to progress with us. They will be taken care of. Their lives are improving slowly and are progressing towards sustainability in the long run. 

You could be the reason a child like Mike can get access to education, and stays in school until they are ready to graduate.
