What is Chosen?

Chosen™ is a child sponsorship initiative that empowers children to “choose their own sponsors.”
Launched for the first time in 2019 by World Vision International, this initiative represents a significant shift in the global child sponsorship approach—from the traditional model in which sponsors selected a child, to a new framework that grants children the right to make their own choice. This transformation affirms the principles of dignity, humanity, and the inherent worth of every child.

This initiative is of great significance, as it restores a fundamental human right—the right to choose—to children who often lack such opportunities in their daily lives. Chosen™ is therefore not merely a new approach to matching sponsors with children, but a meaningful and safe space that enables children to recognize that

their voices carry value,
they deserve to be heard,
and they possess the capacity to shape the course of their own lives.

Chosen: Chosen with Love

“Chosen with Love” is a special program where children get to choose their own sponsors using the applicants’ photos. This sponsorship requires a continuous donation of 750 Baht per month.

Registration for interested sponsors is open from November 1 to November 30, 2026, so the children can choose you as their sponsor. The “Chosen” event will take place in early December 2026. (We will notify you again via email or SMS.)

A small photograph, personally chosen by a child, becomes the beginning of a bond too great for words.

An overwhelming feeling of joy to know that someone truly sees us and wants us to be a part of their life.

Child sponsorship doesn’t just change a child’s life by giving them opportunities and a better future; it also fills the giver’s heart in ways they never expected.

Khun Tarn Saruda, one of the sponsors in the ‘Chosen with Love’ project, joined the World Vision Foundation on the ground to organize activities. Seeing a child choose her photo made her realize that ‘child sponsorship’ is not just about giving; it is about building a special bond of hope and connection.

“Just a little something at a time when we are able to share. I’d like to invite everyone looking for an opportunity to give, to join us in becoming child sponsors. Our small support truly holds so much meaning. I am so glad to be a part of the support that helps improve a child’s quality of life, making their daily life easier, and providing a safe space where they can dare to dream, dare to hope, and grow up to confidently live the life they desire. It is a truly heartwarming feeling.”

Child sponsorship doesn’t just change a child's life by giving them opportunities and a better future; it also fills the giver’s heart in ways they never expected. Because sometimes... the one who is chosen might just receive the most precious gift in return.  

Come join us in shaping the lives of these children, empowering them to grow with quality and change the world for the better with the #Chosen with Love project. Because being chosen by a child might just change their entire world—and yours—at the same time.

What is a Child Sponsorship Program?

You may register to participate in the Chosen ‘Chosen with Love’ activity through our online platform and upload your photograph, which will be used in the event where children will have the opportunity to choose their own sponsor.

Important Note Regarding Your Photograph**

To ensure that children can clearly see you and feel a sense of warmth through your photograph, please select an image that conveys a bright, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere. Your photograph plays a crucial role in helping the child consider and choose you as their sponsor during the Chosen™ activity.

Thereafter, you and the child may begin building a meaningful relationship through email or written correspondence, with the foundation serving as an intermediary to facilitate communication between sponsors and children. As a sponsor, your support will continue to contribute to the long‑term development and well‑being of the child, their family, and the wider community, enabling them to grow with stability and sustainability.
