A child sponsorship is $50 per month.
Your money will go directly to the purchase of food and necessary medicines for a child at our orphanage in Haiti. As a donor, you will sponsor a specific child. One Vision will send you a photo and information about your child. We encourage all child sponsor participants to consider going on a trip and meeting your child in person.
To get started, contact our office at (865) 579-3353 or info@onevisionintl.org.

Q. Where does my money go?
A. 100 percent of your money goes to provide water, food, medicine and shelter for the children in our orphanage.
Q. When do I send my money?

Q. Where do I send my money?

One Vision International
Attention: Child Sponsorship
P.O. Box 20608
Knoxville, TN 37940
Q. Can I set-up an Electronic Fund Transfer?
A. Yes! Your contribution is more effective when it arrives on time each month. You may contact our office at (865) 579-3353 or info@onevisionintl.org to set up your payment today!
Q. Will I receive a monthly reminder?
A. You will not receive a monthly reminder; however, One Vision does send out quarterly pledge statements to update sponsors on where they stand on their monthly commitment.
Q. How long is my commitment for sponsorship?
A. One Vision offers you the opportunity to remain a sponsor for a number of years. You have a unique opportunity to build a relationship with your child by encouraging them, providing financially for their needs and praying for them daily. Your Sponsorship will not end until you notify the One Vision office that you would no longer like to be a sponsor. We encourage you to consider making at least a (1) one year commitment.
A sponsored child’s individual circumstances may also change. A child may leave the program because he/she has become part of an adoptive family, or has been relocated to another orphanage setting and is therefore no longer a part of the sponsorship program. In this case, One Vision will notify you and your sponsorship will transfer to a new child.
Q. What happens if I must discontinue my sponsorship?
A. If your circumstances change and you can no longer provide financial support to your sponsored child, we understand. All we ask is that you please let us know with a courtesy phone call, email or letter. We can then respond quickly to find another sponsor.
Q. Why is my pledge commitment less the first year?
A. One Vision operates on a calendar year. The Child Sponsor program is $50 a month/$600 a year. If you begin your sponsorship on or after Jan. 15th your pledge amount is prorated for the remaining months of that year. Your sponsorship will automatically begin again on January 1 of the following year.
Q. Can I write letters to my child?
A. Yes! We strongly encourage each sponsor to write to their child often. Our teams traveling to the orphanage each month will deliver the letters. Also, the children always enjoy seeing a photo of their sponsor, so please feel free to include pictures as well.
Q. Will my child write back to me?
A. No, not at this time. Having the children write their sponsor a letter is a long-term goal for One Vision, but at this time we are still teaching the children to read and write.
Q. Can I send my child gifts?
A. You may send your child (1) one item twice a year (January and May). This gift must be (1) one item that fits in a gallon zip lock bag. Please label the gift with your Childs ID # before sending it to the One Vision office. We recommend tennis shoes, clothing or a toy.
Q. Am I the only person who sponsors this child?
A. In addition to food, water and medicine, One Vision also provides shelter, caretakers, education and security guards. The average cost to care for our children in Haiti is $300 per month, per child. The number of sponsors is based on what it takes to fund the budget for Haiti.
Q. Will I be able to meet my child?
A. We would love for you to meet your child! We encourage you to join us on a trip to Haiti so you can unite with your child and be able to see how God has blessed them through your sponsorship. Contact our office to learn more about our trips.
Q. How often will I be updated on my child?
A. You will receive a personal Child Sponsor update twice a year. Each update includes a letter informing you of all that has happened in Haiti through One Vision, as well as an updated photo of your child.
Q. How else can I help?
A. Pray every day for your child and donate to One Vision when specific items are needed! You can also become an advocate for One Vision and the Child Sponsor program. You may request Child Sponsor brochures to pass out to your friends and family and encourage them to join you in changing the lives of children in Haiti!
