World Vision UK Recensioni 

I have put this off for years for one reason or another but i am really happy i did now the feeling that you are helping a child and her village makes me feel good it’s humbling and exciting and it has enriched my life even after only three weeks please be a sponser you get as much out of it as they do and can watch your child blossom

Being a World Vision child sponsor is something I would recommend to anyone. A little money from the U.K. goes a very long way in the poor areas where World Vision works. It’s really humbling to see my donations have a positive effect on a child’s future, and also on that child’s community. I’ve done this since the 1980s, and I hope to continue as long as I can.

Having spent decades supporting various children the world over, we are finding the joy that we give to the sponsored children soooo satisfying. We see pictures of the children, get updates and send cards and messages to them in return. These days it's even an occasional videos online.
Yes, WV do ask for further contributions, but that's the point, giving aid where you can. If you can't, don't, maybe you'll feel flush another time. Genuine company. Go for it.

This organisation has a very structured plan and seems to make a big difference to the whole community. I love the personal touch of contact with s child from that community and I hope they get more than just financial support back.

I find the whole experience heart warming and instructive. Finding out what my small money outlay achieves is most gratifying. Getting to know someone from far away is very good. To see them grow and see them learn is excellent.
The company does an excellent job.

We sponsor a little girl in Uganda. We receive regular updates including photos, a video and brief letters and also a general update on how the village is improving. The person who cancelled her sponsorship because she found out others were benefitting needs to remember that a child singled out as a beneficiary, leaving others out, could be subject to envy and could feel very bad for their peers. Yes, we also thought our money was going only to our sponsored child but, having thought about it more, World Vision have approached this the right way to share it out.

I Sponsored a little girl in a village near Nepal. When I Sponsored her I was only sponsoring her and I was paying an extra amount towards work in the village. I have telephoned World vision just now only to find out that yes I am sponsoring the little girl but also 3 other un named children. I chose this charity because the majority of my money was going to the little girl and her family. I paid an extra amount for the village.
I have only an old age pension and I really thought that I was helping just 1 child. Plus they are always asking for more donations which I felt bad for not being able to pay.
I have cancelled my subscription and I am gutted as I really cared for my little girl and I thought that I was giving her a good chance in life.
So beware what you are signing up doesn't mean that the money is going to where you think it is.

I've been a World Vision supporter for many years and followed the progress of my first sponsored child from the age of 7 to adulthood. I'm now sponsoring another youngster and hope to see her to adulthood as well. We get regular updates and videos of the work World Vision is doing in their community, and we exchange cards and letters with our child. It is very rewarding being a sponsor of a child and seeing the progress they, and their community, are making.

It is good to be able to keep contact online but I do miss having a letter from my sponsored child, as I used to do years ago. Also because we are encouraged to send the report via Google, Facebook or Apple, it seems less personal and private, and more orchestrated towards advertising. We love our sponsored children and do not want them to be upset.

What a loverly way to help a youngster get on in life, i do hope that my contribution to her way of life helps her get all the good things that life has waiting for her.

World Vision makes such a difference to communities all over the world. I have been a sponsor for over 20 years now and can say what a fulfilling experience it is to know that I am making a difference to a child's life who is less fortunate in the way of education and living conditions. I love getting the updates, photos and videos throughout the year and seeing the progress that has been made. They are really doing a great Job in all the communities that they work in. Well done World vision 👏

From my first enquiry about sponsoring a child the whole experience has been excellent. They were very quick to answer any questions I had (their website answers most questions). They very quickly set everything up once I'd said I'd go ahead with the sponsorship. We need more unity and less inequality in our world, child sponsorship will help with that.

I have sponsored 2 children now. it is great to ee them grow and progress and to know i am making a difference in this world. We can all do our part no matter how little.

I've been sponsoring for approx 10 years or so. I am now sponsoring my third child. Communication is pretty good. The new portal is good for seeing pictures. Only things keeping it from being a 5 star review is that,as far as i know, you can't keep checking in with a previous sponsored child after your sponsorship has finished. To me, the point of sponsoring someone is to see how they have progressed. I would also like more photos of "my" child and her home and surroundings.

Legit company for sponsoring your children in need of aid. A shame I could no longer afford it or was able to see how much of my money actually got to my sponsored child, but they were great with interacting and keeping you informed of their work et cetera

I have enjoyed sponsoring for many years now get a lot of pleasure from receiving letters from my sponsored child and regular updates. I have always found customer services to be very helpful and to respond quickly to any questions I have. I intend to continue sponsoring for many years going forward.

We have been sponsoring children through World Vision for over 30 years now. It’s always lovely to hear how they are doing and to be able to share Christmas and birthdays with them.
In recent years we have been able to watch videos of our sponsored child and this makes it more personal and real to our family. We are happy that our donations make a difference to the lives of children and their communities.

For the past 10 years I've sponsored a little girl in Haiti through World Vision. When I initially signed up, I was given to understand that I could mail presents, that I would get a photo of her with the presents I sent, that I would be able to email her and get replies, and that I would continue to sponsor her until she was 18. I joined because I wanted the personal relationship this seemed to promise.

At first I got photos of her with the gifts I sent her, but soon I didn't get photos unless I sent monetary gifts. No photos were provided with the packages I sent through the mail.

A couple of years ago they changed her address without informing me. I had made pre-printed address labels, so didn't realize the presents were going to the wrong address until one of my gifts was returned in the mail a year later. I don't know what happened to the other gifts. I sent more packages to the correct address over a year ago, but got no response.

This week I suddenly got an email that said my child's community has "graduated". They included a film that showed the community has clean water, some sanitary facilities and a play area, but not a lot else. I know my child went to school, but don't know if the school will continue, what the children have been learning, or what sort of medical care they may receive in the future.

There used to be an email where I could write with questions or complaints, but now I can't find it in their emails or on their site. They provide a phone number, so I called it and waited on hold. I spoke to an overly chatty but rather glib man who told me my child didn't receive the last few packages I sent, that I should've called sooner, and that they are not responsible for the mail in Nicaragua. (I reminded him that my child is in Haiti.) I went to a lot of trouble to mail these things and am so disappointed. He told me I can send her a final email, but no further letters, monetary gifts or packages.

I am really disappointed that this was done with no prior notice. My sponsored child is only 12. I had purchased other gifts to send her and now don't know what to do with them. This is too abrupt. I feel that World Vision has abandoned both my sponsored child and myself without sufficient advance notice or information.

I also learned that they've already ended the monthly donation to my sponsored child and transferred it to another child in a different country without my permission. This was not clear in the emails they sent me. I told them to stop the donation as I don't want to repeat this experience.

It's probably a better use of funds just to donate to a charity that provides food, education or healthcare without promising a "personal connection." Your money will be better spent, and you and your sponsored child won't wind up feeling abandoned.
