The annual progress report (APR) is an annual update of your child’s progress and is sent at the end of every academic year between July and September. If sponsorship was started after January this year, the sponsor will receive the annual progress report only in the next academic year.
We are trying to make this report available online to reduce our paper trail. We also plan to increase the frequency of the reports and updates. But until then, we encourage you to write to your sponsored children and keep in touch with them.
Any communication to your child should be addressed to Donor Relations, World Vision India. Our address is: 16, V.O.C. Main Road, Kodambakkam, Chennai-600 024. Alternatively you can send an email to your sponsored child to indiawebsponsors@wvi.org. Please don’t forget to mention your partner ID and the child ID

“Why make children lazy by sending them to school? Teach them to work in the fields,” says a parent from a village in North Tripura. Here, sending children to school was considered an offense. That too, spending money on a girl’s education was considered a sheer waste.
Being born in this remote village, 7-year-old Muoni was also denied the opportunity of education. However, unlike other children of her age, Muoni had a dream - dream to study and dream to grow up to be a responsible person.
When the bitter reality of life killed every hope for a better future, a kind-hearted person sponsored Muoni, thereby eradicating all her fears about the future. The staff of World Vision counseled the people of her village about the importance of education and health. Muoni was put back in school.
Life was difficult though, as Muoni had to travel 15 kms each day to reach her school. However, thanks to her sponsor, she was provided a bicycle by World Vision.
Once Muoni completed 12th std., her poverty-stricken family could not support her higher education. However, with the support of World Vision, she underwent 6 months vocational training in Computer Applications.
Now, she works as a Lower Divisional Clerk at the District Medical Office, Ambassa.
Had it not been for her sponsor, Muoni would be like any other child working in the fields and earning a living. But today, her life is transformed.
Muoni now looks forward to continuing graduation and getting a better job. In turn, she wants to transform her society.
When you sponsor a child through World Vision’s Child Sponsorship Programme, you not only help your child you transform his or her community.
