Chosen
What is Chosen?
Chosen is a new and exciting way to sponsor a child. Chosen sponsorship involves empowering a child in need to choose you from amongst other sponsors.
How does Chosen work?
Getting involved in Chosen is simple. Here’s how it works
- Upload a photo of you or you and your whole family to the link above on this landing page.
- We’ll send your photo to a World Vision community where our staff will display your photo along with other new sponsors.
- Children in the community will have an event and be empowered to choose the photo of their own sponsor.
- We’ll send you a photo of the special child who chose you as well as a letter from your new sponsored child a few weeks later explaining why they chose you!
What happens if I pass the sign update to be chosen?
Don’t worry if you pass the signup date to be chosen you will still be able to sponsor another child who is in need. We will choose a child from a more vulnerable community especially for you and send you their photo and more information about them and their community. Or, as always, you are welcome to choose your next sponsored child. Feel free to contact us to learn more on 1.888.511.6548

Do I get to Choose the country where a child comes from If I sign up for Chosen?
Unfortunately, you cannot choose which country your child will come from with our Chosen Sponsorship. Chosen is a new and exciting way to sponsor a child in one of our new communities. World Vision selects these new communities based on where help is most needed, often influenced by where poverty is greatest, as well as looking for areas that are under-served by other organizations.
