Chosen by World Vision

The power to choose in a child’s hands.®

You may be familiar with child sponsorship. Through Chosen, World Vision’s new invitation to sponsorship, it’s the child who gets to experience the joy of choosing. This is what it means to be #chosen:

Rosemary, who lives in Kenya, was not used to choosing.

Rosemary, who lives in Kenya, was not used to choosing. She and her grandmother and brother barely had enough food to eat, and she had to walk an hour to collect dirty water. But then Rosemary got to choose her sponsor, and she chose Regis. She said, “I chose [you] because you look smart.”

Being chosen by Rosemary reminded Regis of how his mother picked him from photos when he was adopted from an orphanage in India. For Regis, being chosen, both as an orphaned child and now as an adult, is a reflection of God’s love. “This is a good reminder of Jesus,” Regis said. “He has not forgotten me. He hasn’t forsaken me. He continues to love me.”
