Orphaned Children

The U.N defines an orphan as a child who has lost one or both parents. These children have lost or have been abandoned by one or both parents. Vulnerable children who have lost their parents face the additional emotional struggle to build resilience amidst living in poverty. In the midst of their struggles, your sponsorship of orphans can help bring much-needed comfort and assurance to them. Sponsor orphans and journey with them like an extended family, to help them achieve their dream. Your sponsorship will directly help orphan children in need through holistic interventions including child protection, education and livelihood support.

Philippines, Bohol 5 AP

Bohol is the tenth largest island of the Philippines and lies in the heart of the Central Visayas. Bohol has experienced widespread poverty due to the combined effects of post-pandemic, increased population, over-exploitation of the land and marine resources, typhoons and natural disasters. Children and families are thus exposed to vulnerabilities including the lack of access to quality education, healthcare and limited livelihood opportunities.

The number one cause of illness among children in Bohol is diarrhea and gastroenteritis due to the lack of access to basic safe water supply. 10% of Bohol households also have no sanitary toilet facilities.

While the main source of income is farming, farmers in Bohol face challenges such as lack of access to credit, inadequate infrastructure, and low prices for their produce. Fishermen also face challenges such as overfishing, competition, and the impact of climate change. Low fish catch, low crop yield, and rising costs make it hard for families to make a living. This leads to children dropping out of school as parents prioritise their children's labour contributions to the household over their education, especially where economic livelihood is in dire need. 

The Covid-19 pandemic, coupled by Typhoon Rai, caused numerous school closings and damages, resulting in more than 50% of learners across Grade 1 to 10 having reading difficulties, aggravating Bohol's issue of learning poverty.

Bangladesh, Wazirpur AP

Wazirpur, Bangladesh is a district located in the Southern region of Bangladesh, about 114km away from Dhaka. The majority of the population are limited to labour-intensive and low-income occupations such as farmers, daily labourers or petty traders. As the district is also prone to earthquakes, water logging and arsenic poisoning, economic livelihood opportunities are further restricted. The prevalence of child labour and child marriage also contribute to high drop-out rates in school - limiting the opportunities for future growth and development.

Cambodia, Sambour AP

Sambour, Cambodia, is located in Kratie province, northeast of the country. The majority of the population in Sambour rely on farming, but as the district is prone to high occurrences of floods and droughts, livelihoods are often affected when crops are destroyed as a result. Children also suffer from domestic violence, abuse and neglect due to the lack of awareness among parents. While attaining an education is also a challenge for children due to the community's location, poor school infrastructure and lack of quality education.

Vietnam, Muong Cha 2 AP

Muong Cha is a remote, mountainous district in Dien Bien province, in Northwestern Vietnam. The district faces a high poverty rate (living on less than USD$2.15 a day) of 42.86%, making it one of the poorest areas in Vietnam.

The community primarily engages in small-scale farming for subsistence rather than for market sale. With only one central market in the town, there are limited opportunaties for selling agricultural products. Muong Cha is also prone to flash floods and landslides, which have significantly disrupted the lives and livelihoods of the community as they lack the skills needed to prevent and mitigate risks associated with these disasters.

Many families in the community lack access to basic necessities such as food and clothing, increasing the risk of children, particularly girls, dropping out of school due to child marriage and the need to work away from home.

Due to the poor health care and nutrition knowledge, there is also a high rate of malnutrition in children, and 24.9% of children under five are stunted. There are also poor sanitation facilities in the community, where 47.4% of households lack hygienic latrines, and 28.1% of the population practice open defecation.

To address these needs, World Vision began implemention of the Muong Cha Area Programme (AP) in 2025. In collaboration with local partners, the programme aims to improve the well-being of children in the community.
