What is a Care Gift?
Your monthly sponsorship is making a life-changing difference in your sponsored child's life!
Your care and love for the child can go even further with a thoughtful care gift to celebrate your sponsored child's birthday or festive occasions celebrated in their country.
When you choose to send a care gift, our area programme staff will engage with your sponsored child to select items such as school supplies, clothing, livestock, groceries, or other items that meets their current needs. Every care gift is a heartfelt reminder to the child that they are loved, remembered and celebrated - from miles away.

Frequently Asked Questions
With the funds from your care gift, the World Vision area programme staff will engage your sponsored child to discuss the items to be purchased that will meet their current needs in the family. This empowers your sponsored child to decide how to best utilise the care gift they received.
No cash will be given directly to the child or family.
It will take up to 3 months for care gifts to be processed. However please allow up to 5 months to receive the Gift thank you letter for gifts sent during the peak season (October to January). Thank you for your understanding.
You’ll receive a thank you letter from your sponsored child and a picture of what they have purchased, and how it is making a difference in their life. Please allow up to 5 months to receive a response as we approach the year-end period (October to January).
Setting a minimum value of USD $100 allows our staff to purchase more items — such as clothing, school supplies, or household essentials — that can support your sponsored child and their family for a longer period of time. We would also like to better steward the time and resources that our area programme staff takes to travel to each family to bring about a longer term impact from each gift.

25% of all care gifts will go towards helping to strengthen the community to enable all children to thrive such that no one is left out.
The 25% used for the community may not be acknowledged in the thank you letter you receive from the child, as the project may not have completed. However, you will receive the impact report from your care gift to the community in your annual report updates on your sponsored child's timeline.
To ensure that our work benefits every child in the community, Care gifts to your sponsored child are limited to one per year. This helps our area programme staff dedicate most of their time to implementing long-term development projects that uplift entire communities.
