Sponsor a HopeChild: Why it Works

AIDS is more than a pandemic. It is the greatest humanitarian crisis of all time. More than 40 million people are infected with the virus.

A HopeChild lives in an area with a high prevalence of HIV, has been identified by his or her community as "vulnerable," and requires extra assistance. This does not mean that the sponsored child has HIV.

Many children have been orphaned as a result of AIDS. However, often a family member, neighbour, or friend in the community will take them in. In many cases, these children would consider their caregivers to be "parents," and would not think of themselves as orphans.

HopeChild sponsorship provides things like:

basic health care as well as HIV and AIDS treatment
access to schooling as well as HIV and AIDS prevention education
nutritious food and clean water
care for orphans and vulnerable children
training of volunteers to look after children's emotional, physical, and spiritual needs
World Vision can not do this without the support of caring Canadians like you. Together—and with God's help—World Vision can bring a better life to these children and their families.

For $40 a month, you can make a difference in children's lives and turn hope into a reality.
