I want to donate to WorldVision, but I have a few problems with it? I'm looking for a similar organization...

Question

I want to make donations to WorldVision (a Christian organization that helps underpriviledged children in other countries), but I have a few problems with them. They are a Christian organization, and I'm not religious and don't really believe in them converting the people they help.

Also, they SAY that they send you pictures/letters from the child you help, but is this true? Does your money *really* go to that one child?

And, I can't really make a $35 donation every month since I'm only 19 and I don't really have that kind of money.

Is there another organization like this that 1. isn't religious 2. really *does* give your money to one child and sends pictures/progress reports and 3. will take a smaller donation?

What is it?

Thanks

Answer 1

my family sponsers a child through world vision and she always sends us letters and pictures she drew. we also recieve letters from them telling us about her and her family and they do give you a picture of your child.

Will help you find a place to help.  I believe we need to help at home first.

Good luck.
