A. World Vision s Child Sponsorship program is much more than just sending money off every month. When you sponsor a child, you have the opportunity to help change the life of a child, their family and community. We ensure that each child has only one sponsor. However, many people choose to sponsor more than one child. As a sponsor you ll have the chance to write to your sponsored child or even visit them to see firsthand the improvements that have occurred because of your support. When you become a child sponsor you will receive a picture folder with photo and details of your sponsored child, and information about their country. You also get an annual progress report on your sponsored child, with an updated photo and information on… [cont.]

I am looking for advice for a good charity to help the poor and wondering what people think of World Vision?
Q. I am not a Christian so would prefer a non-denomination organization or at least one that does not push a particular religion. The most important aspects are the percentage of money that gets to the people who need it and also promoting practices such as farming that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. I have been giving money to World Vision for years but when I see some of the pictures of the farming practices, I wonder how much planning is going into sustainable practices. Thanks.

A. I think very highly of World Vision and have been sponsoring a child for years through them. They are based on Christian principles but help everyone, regardless of religion and do not push Christianity on them at all. I've seen several of their projects in the Middle East (helping both Christians and Muslims) and Africa and was impressed with how they are helping to make the communities sustainable. As far as farming, I visited a project of theirs in the Gaza Strip. It was a permaculture program where they are growing food with little water since water is so scarce there and the sea is salty so doesn't work for farming without desalination.

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.

You can also read about a case where they became aware of a problem and corrected it. I think they are fairly transparent for a large humanitarian organization. I suspect you have some other reason for not liking World Vision? If you don't like them as an organization, why don't you donate to someplace else? BTW, it is common for organizations like this to post their own financial statements on their websites. And you're correct that anyone can say anything. But it would be foolish to put this information up when even government officials can see if it's not true.

A. The purpose? To alert the public to the issues that negatively affect children worldwide, and to get money from sponsors. Teenagers could sponsor a child, but most do not have a steady income to guarantee the required monthly donation, or else they are saving for college. It is more likely that most sympathetic teens would wait until they are older and have a full-time job before they take on such a responsibility. Imagine if a child is told he has a sponsor, begins a correspondence, and then suddenly that sponsor disappears and another one steps in. Another reason teens might not want to sponsor a child is that when a Christian organization does this kind of work, it gives the appearance that children are only being helped as a tool for… [cont.]

Is World Vision one of the more reputable charities to sponsor children in poorer countries?
Q. I've considered sponsoring a less fortunate child, and want to ensure that the charity I select gives much of the proceeds to the child. Sometimes you hear stories about charities that send only a small percentage of what you donate to the child. Just wondering if anyone has any personal experience or advice in this area. Thanks!

A. I think it is, but I'd wait until someone gave you a more definitive answer. Check out UNICEF. They're a great organization for kids, and a lot of other charities run through them.

A. In most charities this is true. The workers have to get paid for their work(they don't have to, but they do) Then the rest of it goes to charity. Sometimes that is big and sometimes it is small. The people who help the most is the salvation army. Their workers make hardly anything and they help out so much.

A. I think very highly of anyone who stands up for those who cannot speak for themselves, and refuses to trade one type of suffering for another.
