Every 60 seconds a family receives the tools to overcome poverty

 

How we do it

Our focus is on helping the most vulnerable children overcome poverty and experience fullness of life. We help children of all backgrounds, even in the most dangerous places, inspired by our Christian faith.

Our Leadership Our Structure Locations

Who we are

World Vision has over 70 years of experience working with communities, donors, partners, and governments to create opportunities for better futures for vulnerable children ... even in the toughest places.

We serve alongside the poor and oppressed as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love for all people. World Vision serves all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender.

We empower communities and guide them to set their own goals and equip them so that progress made is sustained and continued, long after we’ve left.

When disaster strikes, we are on the ground, quickly providing immediate support – and we stay helping to rebuild lives for children, families, and communities.

World Vision’s approach to ending violence against children protects them today and empowers them for tomorrow. We do this by equipping them, their communities, and local partners with the tools to address the root causes of violence against children.

Through World Vision’s work, every 60 seconds ... a family gets water ... a hungry child is fed ... a family receives the tools to overcome poverty.

Hope, Joy, and Justice for ALL Children
