Send A Gift To Your Sponsored Child

Oftentimes, shipping internationally is very difficult due to various taxes and restrictions placed on foreign imports. For this reason, we are not able to allow sponsors to send children large packages through the mail.

Fortunately, you may send a few small, inexpensive items in a 6 inch by 9 inch envelope to your child. Be sure to label all items with the child’s ID number. Please send only one package a month. Your child greatly appreciates receiving anything from you, so enjoy being creative in what you send!

Please send all packages to the below address:

[Sponsored Child’s name and Child ID #]
c/o World Help Child Sponsorship Program
P.O. Box 501
Forest, VA 24551
As a reminder, please do not send cash to your sponsored child. If you wish to make an extra cash contribution to your child, please contact the World Help Child Sponsorship Department for more details.

Our Financial Commitment

Your gift will be used exclusively for the exempt purposes of World Help, a 501(c)(3) organization, and will be considered tax-deductible to the full extent allowed under the federal tax laws. You should consult with your personal income tax advisor for more guidance about your individual tax situation. Gifts are considered to be without restriction unless explicitly stipulated by the donor. All restricted gifts for a specific project receive an administrative assessment, which is used to offset administrative and fundraising costs.

If contributed funds exceed the specific need of a project, or due to unforeseen circumstances the project cannot be completed, those funds will be used where they will make the greatest impact to fulfill the mission and purpose of World Help. You can access World Help’s full financial reports at worldhelp.net/financials.

You may also request a hard copy, as well as descriptions of World Help’s programs, by calling 800-541-6691.
