The monthly contribution for child sponsorships through Chosenᵀᴹ will be set at $50 with effect from 12 March 2025. This includes child sponsorships through Chosenᵀᴹ in Kenya that will take place on 19 March 2025.  

For over 40 years, World Vision Singapore has been contributing towards uplifting communities in our area programmes over a 10 to 15 year period through holistic community-focused interventions that provide access to water, nutrition, education, child protection and sustainable livelihoods. The cost increases in recent years have posed challenges, significantly compounded by the combined effects of climate change and conflict. Natural disasters and protracted conflicts have disrupted infrastructure, supply chains, and global resources, adding to rising costs. The adjustment in the monthly contribution amount for child sponsorship from $45 to $50 a month will allow us to meet our targeted goals for transformational impact within the planned timeframe in the area programme. This adjustment ensures that we can continue our work without delays, allowing us to deliver lasting, positive change to the communities we serve. Your generosity is a crucial part of the change we are creating in the lives of children. 

Chosenᵀᴹ invites you to put the power of choice ​​​​​​in the hands of the child, there flipping the traditional selection dynamics. It sets the tone from the start and is a tangible manifestation that children can (and should) have choices in life. It emphasises that they have the power to choose what their life can become. Additionally, it gives children a greater contribution in the process as they get to have more ownership in the decision-making process. 

It is a simple switch in thinking that recognises the dignity, value and honour of everyone involved - acknowledging that children living in extreme poverty have the power to change their own lives...and your lives too.
