Michael, a 6-year-old boy in El Salvador, says that what brings him the most happiness is water.

Reason #914:

Clean water in every child’s cup

There have never been more reasons to sponsor a child than right now.

We believe every child deserves clean water. But not every child has access to this basic necessity. 

“I’m afraid of the water because I know that worms are going into my body.” - Ireen, 9, Malawi

Time fetching water - even polluted water -  can cost children more than you know - it can take away from their education, from their jobs, and even expose them to sexual violence and harassment.

But you can make a difference and help bring clean water to not just one child, but their entire community.

Sponsor a child today

When you choose to sponsor a child, you can change the lives of children who whose childhood and potential is being stolen, simply because they don't have clean drinking water.

As a sponsor, you partner with a community to develop a plan and get the resources and support they need to tackle their toughest challenges – like improving water and fighting water scarcity.

World Vision sponsors have been helping communities to get clean water for more than 35 years and we are now one of the largest non-government providers.

World Vision is reaching one new person with clean water every 10 seconds.

But that’s not all. For every child you help, four more children benefit too.

There are so many reasons to sponsor a child. When you choose to sponsor, you provide lasting change that impacts not just one child, but their entire community.
