At World Vision, we appreciate the truth of this simple saying. And we believe that a child thrives best in a ‘village’ where everyone’s basic needs are met. But because of poverty, children are often struggling just to survive.
Our vision is for every child to grow up in a community...
Every day, incredible people are helping us build communities where children can lead fulfilling lives, surrounded not by hardship, but by joy. We invite you to do the same.
This season of giving, help us build a Village of Joy for children in need!

Build a Village where clean water flows!
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene are essential to helping children and their families live healthy lives. Your gift can help us build sustainable clean water and sanitation facilities, as well as promote the adoption of hygiene and sanitation practices like handwashing and the use of sanitary latrines.
Give a Joyful Gift of Clean Water
We seek to raise RM 86,000 to provide clean water and sanitation to 870 children and their communities.
Build a Village where children are healthy!
A long, happy and healthy life begins with proper healthcare and nutrition. Your gift can help mothers and caregivers provide nutritious meals for their children, as well as train healthcare facilitators and mobilisers to provide health knowledge and support to households.

We seek to raise RM 35,000 to provide healthcare and nutrition to 5,400 children and their communities.
Build a Village where every child can learn!
A good education gives children the building blocks to success. Your gift can bring up a generation of joyful learners by helping us set up reading camps or libraries with local learning resources and facilitators. You will also help children affected by conflict and climate change to catch up on education.

Build a Village without poverty!
Poverty limits the opportunities children have to build a good life for themselves. Your gift can help children and their families overcome poverty by training them in financial literacy and saving to start small businesses. You will also give vulnerable households livestock such as goats and cows, seeds and tools, as well as the training to make the most of them.

No child’s life should be touched by violence, exploitation and neglect. Your gift can help build a safer world by empowering children to exercise their rights and participate in a safe, meaningful way. You will also equip parents and caregivers with positive parenting skills and build up local child protection systems.
Give a Joyful Gift of Child Protection

The Giving Catalogue allows Malaysians to improve the lives of children, their families and communities by giving impactful and sustainable gifts - clean water, health & nutrition, education, livelihoods and child protection.
World Vision Malaysia supports and funds projects in several countries through various means, the main one being our Child Sponsorship Programme.
However, for some countries, funds raised through the Child Sponsorship Programme are insufficient to support transformational and development projects. As such, alternative ways of raising funds are explored – for example, the Giving Catalogue.
Giving Catalogue has replaced the previous Gifts of Hope.
Meeting the basic needs of a child is more than just giving tangible items. It is also important to equip them, their families, and communities with the skills and knowledge to make lasting changes. By giving towards our community funds, you will equip whole communities on top of providing them with the tangible items needed to thrive. For instance, by giving a gift of education, you will help us build libraries, provide learning resources and equip parents to help their children learn at home. This way, many children in the community will be able to improve their literacy. All of this will be reflected in our annual report.
At World Vision, we seek to ensure that all resources entrusted to us are used as efficiently and effectively as possible. If donations exceed what is needed, or where local conditions prevent programme implementation, World Vision will redirect funds to equally important programmes that help children and families in need.
The majority of the gifts are community-based, which are different from the types of gifts you may like to give your sponsored child. Furthermore, your sponsored child may not be residing within the communities that benefit from this initiative.
We encourage sponsors to send gifts directly to their sponsored children through World Vision’s offices in their sponsored children’s countries (the list of addresses can be found here).
We will provide a report on how the gifts were delivered and the implementation of supporting programmes. The report for this year’s Giving Catalogue will be available in our Annual Review in mid-2026.
As our funds are primarily channelled overseas to help children living in the poorest areas of the world, your donations are not tax-deductible. To be eligible for tax exempt status, a majority of funds raised must benefit Malaysians.
When you donate a gift on behalf of a loved one, you can send him/her an eCard to let him/her know about the special gift you have donated in his/her name. You will receive ONE eCard per gift. eCards are only available when you pick your gifts online.
Our commitment is to have your donations/gifts implemented by those working in the various field offices. The gifts are implemented in accordance with the timeline of activities carried out in a community, which is planned annually.
Be among the first to receive the latest news and updates on our work, stories of children and communities, and opportunities to make a difference.
In 2023, 83% of donations collected were used for programmes that benefit children, families and communities in need.
