Become a Child-Chosen Sponsor: Empowering Children to Shape Their Own Future

For years, child sponsorship programmes have been synonymous with sponsors choosing children. But now, through Wahana Visi Indonesia's Chosen programme, the world is seeing a major shift: for the very first time, children are choosing their sponsors. In this programme, those who have long awaited support are now empowered to decide who will accompany them on their life's journey. It's a deeply meaningful approach, rich in its respect for the dignity of children.

This marks a crucial moment in the humanitarian world. It's no longer just about helping; it's also about honouring the choices and voices of Indonesian children. It gives them the opportunity to feel seen, heard, and to have power over their own future.

What is Chosen and How Does It Work?

Chosen is a programme from Wahana Visi Indonesia that invites potential sponsors to give children the freedom to choose who their sponsor will be. You simply register and upload a close-up photo of yourself. This photo will be sent to Wahana Visi's assisted communities, and during a special event, children will choose their sponsors based on the photos they see.

After the selection process, you will receive a photo of the child who has chosen you, along with a letter written directly by them. This is where your special journey as a child's chosen sponsor begins.

How to Become a Child's Chosen Sponsor

1. Sign Up Online
   Visit the official Wahana Visi Indonesia website and complete the registration form. Upload your best close-up photo; this will be shown to the children.

2. Await a Child's Choice
   Your photo will be sent to the communities where children are waiting for sponsors. During a special Chosen event, children will be given the freedom to choose the sponsor they feel a connection with.

3. Receive Wonderful News
   You'll then receive information about the child who has chosen you. This won't just be a photo; it'll also include a letter explaining why they picked you as their sponsor. Your relationship with the child will then begin with a meaningful bond built on trust.

The Tangible Benefits of the Chosen Child Sponsorship Programme

For just Rp250,000 per month, you become a part of a significant transformation for a child and their community. Your donation will be used to:

• Provide nutritious food and clean water

• Support education and life skills training

• Offer health check-ups, immunisations, and other medical access

• Provide humanitarian aid during disasters

• Deliver leadership training and child mentoring

• Offer ongoing spiritual and social support

By becoming a child sponsor, you're not just providing material aid; you're building hope and a bright future for children trapped in cycles of generational poverty.

Why Should Children Be Given the Opportunity to Choose?

Allowing children to choose their sponsor is a form of respect for their will and their voice. Many of these children have never experienced the freedom to make choices, from the food they eat to the schools they attend. Chosen gives them a freedom they may never have experienced before, and from this simple moment, big changes can begin.

When children choose their sponsor, their self-confidence increases. They feel they have control over their lives, and this psychologically proves to boost their sense of responsibility and eagerness to learn.

Real Story: From Being Chosen to Becoming Inspired

Yunus is a real-life example of how the Chosen programme brings about life-changing transformation. A child who once lived in hardship is now able to develop his potential, thanks to the presence of a sponsor he chose himself. He studies hard, helps his parents, and even has big dreams for his future. All of this began with one small decision: choosing a sponsor.
