BEFORE WE BEGIN: Assessment and design
Before 2007
With local leaders, we assess the community's needs and resources and plan projects to provide long-term solutions.
PHASE 1: Building the foundation
2007
During this phase, sponsorship and development opportunities begin.
2012
During this phase, we monitor the community’s progress and make adjustments to meet their goals. More community members become involved, lead projects and gain ownership of their success.
PHASE 3: Enhance sustainability
2017
During this phase, children and families enjoy improved living conditions as they prepare to become independent and continue the work you helped start.
2021
At this stage, the community moves from sponsorship to self-sufficiency, with local people and organizations leading the community’s development. When this program graduates, we’ll invite you to help another child and their community.
2022
At this point, World Vision has officially handed responsibility for program activities over to local-level organizations, groups and community members.

Building sustainable futures together
World Vision child sponsorship starts with understanding what is preventing children from surviving and thriving in their community. We then work with the community to bring the pieces of the puzzle together to build a better life for all children.
