“I have become the teacher I always dreamt of being.”

Every year, the life-changing love of World Vision child sponsors reaches children in the world’s toughest places. The purpose is clear: to help children, their families and whole communities break free from poverty – for good.

Kim is living proof of the change your kindness makes. Change that lasts!

As a child, Kim loved going to school and dreamt of becoming a teacher one day. But school uniforms and materials were a cost his family was struggling to afford. They were barely scraping by. Without these supplies, kids in Cambodia can’t go to school.

“World Vision brought support from sponsors to children, such as study materials and clothes,” Kim says. “This helped reduce his parents’ expenses.”

“As a sponsored child, I participated in many courses about children’s right, hygiene and sanitation.

“I gained experiences that helped me overcome my fears.

“Now I have become the teacher I always dreamt of being.”

Today, Kim is inspiring the next generation of kids in his community, giving them quality education to help them shape their dreams for the future.

“Thank you sponsors for your support through World Vision,” Kim says.

Just like Kim, there are millions of adults around the world who grow up struggling in poverty but are now living productive, fulfilled lives. It’s thanks to their hard work and the love of sponsors like you.
