What is Chosen?
We all have opportunities to choose, but many underprivileged children never have the chance to choose — not even once.
Chosen is a unique child sponsorship program that empowers vulnerable and underprivileged children to have the chance to “choose” a sponsor who will support their growth and provide them with the necessary resources for a better life. This includes the right and opportunity to pursue an education, maintain good health and nutrition, access clean water, receive protection, and strengthen their families by helping their families secure jobs, income, and a self-sufficient life to raise their children to their full potential. When you sponsor these children at 700 baht/month , you are giving them the power to make choices that can transform their lives.
The Chosen activity is a new way to sponsor children.
Chosen allows children to choose their own sponsor based on a picture, with a monthly donation of 700 Baht. Sponsor applications are open from 1-25 August 2024. Children will make their selections at the end of September 2024, and you will be notified via email or SMS.
Are you ready to be Chosen by a underprivilege child?
For the first time, underprivileged children will have the genuine opportunity to “choose.” Your love and support will be the first step in helping these children change their future.
Be Chosen with a monthly donation of 750 Baht per child.
What happens after a child chooses you as their sponsor?
Once a child chooses you as their sponsor, you will join the monthly child sponsorship program at 700 Baht per month/per child. Your monthly donation will help develop, support, and restore the lives of vulnerable children and their communities, enabling them to become self-sufficient in the long run.
How Chosen Works
1. Register and submit your photo.
2. World Vision will send your photo to the children for selection.
3. The children will choose you as their sponsor.
4. World Vision will send you the child's photo and information
5. Your sponsorship journey towards transformational change and a special relationship begins!
You can register online for the Chosen activity and submit a photo. Then, your name and photo will be sent to the foundation’s area to organize the Chosen activity for children to choose you as their sponsor. After the Chosen activity is completed, sponsors will receive a photo of the child holding your photo and a letter of introduction from the child explaining why they chose you. Then, the sponsor and child can start a good friendship, get to know each other through email or letters. And as a sponsor of that child, you will also be helping the child’s community and other vulnerable children in the community to create real and sustainable change.
