There are a number of ways that you can give to World Vision. Check out our various opportunities below. If you require assistance, please phone 0800 800 776.
Sponsor a child
Child Sponsorship, through
community development, achieves real and long-lasting change for
children, families and communities living in extreme poverty.
Sponsoring a child gives you personal contact with a child and their family within a community. You will receive annual updates on your child and their community and you can also choose to correspond with your sponsor child. Money does not go directly to sponsored children, because World Vision has found the best way to help a child is to help the whole community through our long-term community development programmes. We know through decades of experience that these programmes work, and children's lives are changed through transforming their communities.

Smiles gift catalogue
A smile is the first thing you look for
when you give a gift - so why not spread it further? With a gift
from our Smiles catalogue, you'll stretch that smile from someone
you love to someone far away.
You can spend as little as $6 or as much as $89,950. Whatever the amount, you'll be contributing to the lives of children, families and communities in need.
And that's gotta make you smile, too.

-
Education and advocacy: helps children access basic quality education so they can escape poverty and reach their full potential.
-
Emergency and disaster mitigation: provides essential items such as food, clean water and shelter to children affected by conflict or natural disasters (e.g. famine, war, earthquakes, floods)
-
Health and disabilities: increases children's access to safe water, proper sanitation and medical treatment, and advocates for the rights of children with disabilities

Donate your tax credits
If you do not claim a credit the money remains with the government. However, if you do claim your rebate, you can make your initial donation work again by donating it back to World Vision. We have a growing number of people who do this each year, and on behalf of World Vision, we thank you for your support.
Microfinance
Many of the world's poor
have the entrepreneurial spirit. They work hard and have clever
ideas. They are not lazy. They just have not been given a chance to
live their dreams.
By offering basic business training and small loans we aim to build people's capacity to solve their own problems and support themselves and their families. This is about nurturing tiny enterprises and creating gainful work and improving income security. By providing a small amount of loan capital and business expertise VisionFund realises the full potential of these entrepreneurs and encourages others to be entrepreneurial. It unleashes the entrepreneurial spirit in the poor themselves.
Pacific Partners
Thousands of Kiwis are lending a hand to our Pacific Partners in Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea to help improve health, education, and agricultural and economic development for children and their families. Thank you for your generous support!

Wills and bequests
As well as donating money during their lifetime, many people choose to acknowledge a favourite charity in their will, by leaving a bequest. A bequest is a special gift of cash or assets that you leave in your will to a person or organisation. After taking care of your loved ones in your will, you might like to also leave a gift to World Vision.

World Food Programme
World Vision works with the UN World
Food Programme to provide
life-saving food aid where needed most. By working together in
countries like North and South Sudan, Uganda and Laos, we can make
a bigger impact to save more lives and fight child
malnutrition.
Our partnership also means your donation will also go further, with every $1 you give providing $6 worth of food aid.
