WSI's global outreach program
One child, one village at a time.
We turn the success of a worldwide digital marketing network into clean water, classrooms and safety for children — with World Vision doing the work on the ground.
What this is
A marketing network, pointed at something that matters.
Make Child Poverty History is the global outreach program of WSI, a worldwide network of digital marketing agencies. WSI agencies sponsor thousands of children through World Vision — and for every child sponsored by a WSI franchisee, agency, supplier or customer, WSI sponsors another. The program is active, and the invitation to join it is open.

How we give
More than a climb. A year-round commitment.
Child sponsorship, matched
WSI agencies around the world sponsor thousands of children through World Vision. For every child sponsored by a WSI franchisee, agency, supplier or customer, WSI sponsors another child.
Golf days where the sun never sets
Global golf tournaments are sequenced across time zones, so as one region finishes the next tees off — and the sun never sets on WSI's fundraising that day.
Challenges like Kili Climb 4 Kids
In 2015 a WSI team climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with Team World Vision. Shared challenges like this rally the whole network behind the cause.
The story
Fifteen years of real work, in three chapters.
A mountain, a country, and the quiet infrastructure that changes a childhood.
Chapter One
Kili Climb 4 Kids
In June 2015 a team from the WSI network carried the flag to Uhuru Peak — 5,895 metres — for children who will never see the mountain.
Chapter Two
On the ground
Numbers on a fundraising page become people the moment you meet them.
Chapter Three
World Vision's work: wells and communities
One well changes a village's whole day — and then its whole decade.
“You do not forget the moment a village turns on clean water for the first time. That is what we are climbing for.”
