I am not into the business of having children convert religions because they need the money.

That being the case you may want change organizations. "World Vision" is all about "delivering the word of God".

I have sponsered a child via "Canada Foster Parents Plan" for 4 years now. You really get out of it what you put into it. For me, I'm really too busy to write my foster child, but I still get drawings and updates. CFPP is trailing World Vision slightly in % of money that goes into development (82% vs aforementioned 85%). Now, the money for CFPP doesn't go to the child him/herself. It really is split between the child and the village. For example, my money has gone towards food, clothing, books, etc. But it's also gone towards building a school and digging a well closer to my foster child's home so they don't have to walk two hours away for clean water.
