Volunteer for the Visayans takes pride in its  unique multi-faceted structure and has been working diligently since 2004 to improve the lives of over one hundred children from disadvantaged families through its Child Sponsorship Program. In addition VFV also sets itself apart from some other similar sponsorship programs by deducting NO administrative costs for staff salaries or benefits from its annual sponsorship fee.

Why Sponsor a Child With VFV?

Part of VFV’s Child Sponsorship program that is unique from other  Sponsor A Child programs is the manner in which our children and their families can benefit from our organizations additional benefits that come as a result of the Multi Faceted nature of Volunteer for the Visayans.

For instance, here is an example of the services we provide to the typical family that enters our child sponsorship program: In this family, the father is employed but earns substandard wages, whilst the mother is a homemaker burdened with child-caring and household responsibilities. Too often, there is not enough money for family members to eat three meals a day, to obtain health care, or to purchase school wear for the children. The family is faced with survival challenges each day and social opportunities for the children are limited. To address this family’s global needs, VFV provides the family with a monthly food subsidy; enrolls the mother in our Mothers Club where she can gain self-sufficiency skills and receive peer support; provides health care and nutritional lessons; provides the sponsored child with school wear and supplies, academic monitoring, daily tutoring, health monitoring and a daily breakfast; and involves the sponsored child in enrichment activities. The child also is helped to develop a supportive relationship with his sponsor. Additionally, in 2010 VFV helped three of the sponsorship families who lived in unsafe structures to renovate or rebuild their houses through it’s Build-A-Home Project. To this end, the Volunteer for the Visayans Child Sponsorship Program is not merely a stand alone project, but is in fact at the heart of a culmination of focused welfare services.

Choose to Sponsor A Child in the Philippines today with VFV and you will not only immediately improve the life of a disadvantaged child, but will also gain the opportunity to create a long lasting unbreakable bond with your sponsored child.

“I enjoy being a sponsored child because I get to go on excursions with the volunteers. Then Ate Leoma give me a grocery and school supplies, a sack of rice and shoes – so I’m very happy. We also get extra help with our school work by having tutorials and all of the staff are very nice with me and my family, they even help build my house.”
