Is World Vision corrupt or using its position to convert people?
Q. I keep hearing people say this, but haven't found any specific sources. I have only found information regarding corruption of NGOs in general, not specifically World Vision. Could someone provide links to legitimate sources proving/exposing corrupt World Vision practices? I am a World Vision sponsor and a Christian, but I wouldn't want them using their position and someone else's vulnerability to convert people. And don't bother with one word answers or some diatribe against Christians that has nothing to do with the question. Firstly, I realize most organizations today are corrupt, but some are moreso than others. I would like some links, please, to back up claims. Simply saying "it is corrupt" is as bad as a "yes/no" answer. Secondly,… [cont.]

A. I have supported World Vision for years. They are one organization where most of the money goes directly to the projects rather than "administration". 87% of the funds raised go to the programs -- see their annual report for 2006. World Vision has even assisted New Yorkers not covered by other aid programs during 9/11. This is a great organization that has been around since 1950. (I agree with your comments on some NGOs -- they do not all have the same values). In our home each child gave their own money to a World Vision child and selected a country for the funds then received the updates/correspondence. I feel it made our children think about the world and not just their own needs.

Is World Vision a reputable child sponsor organization?
Q. I am considering sponsoring a child and I was wondering if World Vision is a reputable child sponsorship organization. I Googled the organization and some "scam" headlines came up in the articles. I want my money to go to the child and the child's family and not into the pockets of the organization's president. Does anyone know if the organization is reputable? Please let me know, because I found this little girl from Armania that I really want to sponsor on the site. Thank you.

A. There are people scamming under the name of World Vision. The group itself seems to be quite reputable and is well established. It has one of the better source to source ratios and lower overhead expense than many other groups, so more of your money actually goes to the projects advertised. However, there are other people claiming to be from World Vision that ARE scammers. They really aren't from WV, but people send money thinking they are. Check your sources and make sure they're all the same, and make a few phone calls to make sure you've got the real World Vision and not the scammers. Samaritan's Purse is another good one.

Q. Today, my family and I went to "Visions of Africa" by World Vision, which was an exhibit to raise awareness of children affected by AIDS in Africa. My husband is a marathon runner and was so moved, he wants to run his next marathon with Team World Vision to raise money for these children.

Without doubt she has definitely not been involved with World Vision nor knows their projects.

can world vision take money from my account without my permission?
Q. I'm really starting to dislike world vision. Ive been sponsoring two children through world vision for a few years now i've heard from one child every few months but ive never heard from the second child i sponsor. Now world vision is withdrawing money from my account with out my permission. I called them up to inquire about this and i pretty much just got passed on to different people with non of them giving me a proper answer. So i would just like to know if they can do this? and has this ever happened to anyone else?

A. You probably agreed to automatic withdrawal when you provided them with your account information. It is typically in the fine print. You might switch to Compassion International. Or if you stay w/ World Vision, send them a certified letter asking for whatever it is you want - cancellation, etc.

The people who help the most is the salvation army. Their workers make hardly anything and they help out so much.

A. We sponsor a child with World Vision. I believe the money actually goes to the community in which the child lives, not just the child itself. Yes we get letters, but not that often. However, that's probably because we don't send regular letters. You can send letters and small gifts, and you are always asked for an extra small donation for a birthday and christmas card for the child. You will receive a photo of the child, basic details and an annual report on how they're doing at school etc. Our child is in Bolivia, but we have also sponsored children in Thailand and Guatamala. Hope this helps.
