Faith and Development

Faith-based perspectives can often have a significant influence on breaking underlying attitudinal, behavioural, and cultural norms and practices that perpetuate poverty and child vulnerability. Religion and values assert a strong social influence within most societies in Asia Pacific, and they play a significant role in guiding the thoughts, priorities, and actions of communities.

World Vision seeks meaningful partnerships with various faith-based actors across the Asia Pacific region to ensure that progress made in community development has greater reach and is sustainable, as these leaders embody a long-term presence and commitment to their communities

World Vision works with faith leaders from different faith traditions in strengthening a multi-sectoral approach to child well-being.

Together, we’ve impacted the lives of over 200 million vulnerable children by tackling the root causes of poverty.
