World Vision Timor-Leste

 

World Vision Timor-Leste (WVTL) is part of the World Vision International partnership – one of the world’s largest non-governmental humanitarian and development agencies.

Our mission is Labarik saudável ba komunidade forte - Healthy children for strong communities. World Vision began its first project in Timor-Leste in 1995 and is now active in six municipalities: Aileu, Baucau, Bobonaro, Covalima, Ermera, and Mantuto. WVTL currently has 115 employees. In 2021/22 the annual budget was $5.1 million.

In this financial year, WVTL's major donors included the Australian Government, New Zealand government, USAID and UNICEF. Timor-Leste is an island country in Southeast Asia and Oceania with a population of 1.3 million, 46% of whom are 0-14 years. Almost 42% of Timorese live below the global poverty line with child stunting being the 3rd highest in the world. WVTL partners with communities, local organizations, children and youth to improve the well-being of children.

WVTL’s strategic goal is to reduce child stunting prevalence by 5% in target areas by 2025, which is supported by a combination of health/nutrition and livelihood practices, equitable nonviolent gender and family relationships, enhanced child protection practices and the emergence of digital technology for financial inclusion. WVTL has four strategic objectives: Ensure children enjoy good health, safe water and improved sanitation Reduce violence against women and children Enhance communities' Resilience and Livelihoods Disaster Management / responding to disaster
