World vision fake letters
Please stop giving money to World Vision. They are misleading you and they are misleading the people who they are trying to help. At the ripe old age of 32 not much blows my mind anymore, but this revelation did.
World Vision do not sponsor children.
Yep, you heard that correctly.
World Vision do not sponsor children.
Although this might seem ridiculous, allow me to man-splain.
Misleading the donor – No sponsorship
The bedrock of World Vision is child sponsorship. The concept is simple and it makes sense. A donor pays a monthly amount of money, which pays directly for the child’s education and other important necessities like uniforms and healthcare.
So when you ‘sponsor’ a child through World Vision, do their school fees get paid? Do they get uniforms? Do they get health care?
The answer is a clear
NO.
The kid writes you letters, you send them cards, but none of the money you donate benefits that child directly. This might seems absurd, but it’s true. World Vision don’t publicise this clearly, but when you dig a little, they admit it outright.

Letters written in a child's hand ask for cash for students at St Agnes Nurse Training School in Kampala
A charity is warning people not to be fooled by heart-rending begging scam asking for cash to help poor families in Uganda.
World Vision urged people not to fall for authentic-looking letters asking for cash for students and orphans in the African country.
TFN knows of two healthcare professionals and one charity worker who have received the notes.
The letters are a more sophisticated version of the well-known ‘Nigerian Prince’ email fraud, which asks for people to provide bank account details or even to provide advance cash payments.
However, while that scam relied on people believing they would be given untold riches for parting with their details or money, this version directly taps into people’s good will.
Clearly handwritten in what appears to be a child’s hand, they purport to be from students at St Agnes Nursing Training School in Kampala.
The details vary by letter but they always ask for fees so the student can pass exams.
One version reads: “Our dear father was bitten by a poisonous snake while digging on

World Vision (WV) is simply amazing
World Vision (WV) is simply amazing. I currently sponsor three children. WV provide updates on how the children are doing together with letters and photos. They do not bombard you with messages for help and are always looking to improve. They also host some great webinars to explain what their role is and you get the chance to ask questions. They do really good work. Please support them. Andrew, Isle of Wight

I have loved becoming a sponsor for Mohamed
I have loved becoming a sponsor for Mohamed. The pics and interactions are great. Not too much and not too little. Beautifully taken videos and pics and insights to the world he lives in. Can’t wait to find out more about him and his culture and how this is helping him and others in his family and community.
