My Nonprofit Reviews

If I could do less than a one star, I would.
I am sponsoring 6 children through World Vision, and am just now withdrawing my support. However, I am trying to get an outside agency to investigate them, so any contact info would be helpful.
I am donating the $39/month, and had given $1400 so far this year for special gifts , a little over $200 per person. Now I find that the gifts were redirected to their community. I am not even sure which community, since in Mali there are several community areas. Cannot find what the donation went for. Cannot find out if my kids are in school or get meal support. I am now 8 months going to 9 months, and cannot find out if they had a birthday party, christmas gift/party, what their needs are, what they like about school, nothing..... crickets.
I am particularly torqued about this, since I took up, at age 71, employment in a covid unit, at high risk to myself, to provide funding. I am furious. I did hear about one of the 6, from Burundi, but beyond what would appear to be a $25 donation of oil and thin mattress, have no idea what happened. When I tried to find out if there were siblings, ill parents, anything, I was told that the child would write me about that. Have heard from no one.
At the end of the day, if you have taken some $4000 from me over 8 months, it is inexcusable to tell me you do not know what it went for, or name of village. I am turning them in for fraud, and wish to discourage anyone from donating to them. I am redirecting to Compassion and to Unbound, FYI. Sorry I put money into this sinkhole. What a lack of transparency.
