How are the children being empowered through Chosen®?

Submitted by Vuong.Hai.Son_124112 on

One critical component of child empowerment is giving children space to develop their own opinions and act on their thoughts and preferences. Through Chosen®, children have the opportunity to select their own sponsor, instead of being informed of who has selected them.

This is only one of the many things that World Vision is doing to empower children as part of our child-focused, community-empowering approach. ​​​​​

How does the flip of the power dynamics happen through Chosen®?

Submitted by Vuong.Hai.Son_124112 on

Chosen® invites you to put the power of choice ​​​​​​in the hands of the child, flipping the traditional selection dynamics. It sets the tone from the start and is a tangible manifestation that children can (and should) have choices in life. It emphasises that they have the power to choose what their life can become. Additionally, it gives children a greater contribution in the process as they have more ownership in the decision-making process.

What is Chosen® and how does it work?

Submitted by Vuong.Hai.Son_124112 on

Chosen® is a new invitation to child sponsorship where a child chooses his/her sponsor. You (the sponsor) can select a photo from your photo library and submit it online on our Chosen® webpage.

Your photo and name will then be sent to an Area Development Programme (ADP) where World Vision works and a child from that ADP will make their choice. Once the choice is made, you will receive a photo of the child and a personal letter from the child sharing why you were chosen.

How does World Vision ensure that my credit card details are safe?

Submitted by Vuong.Hai.Son_124112 on

World Vision deploys a secured payment gateway on our website which automatically converts donors' credit card details into “unique token ID” for our internal records.

This enhances the security level for our donors as this means that your credit card information is only transmitted, processed and stored by the secured payment gateway which is compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
