In five years, World Vision's Cash and Voucher Programming reached 9.8 million people in over 50 countries, distributing $1.5 billion to vulnerable children and families.

As of April 2025, over 2.2 million people affected by the Ukraine crisis across Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, and Georgia have been reached through World Vision support — providing food, cash, protection, education, livelihoods, and mental health care. Nearly half of them are children.

As part of WV’s Myanmar Earthquake Response, in partnership with WFP, 9,313 people have received Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MPCA). The World Food Programme and World Vision have been in long-term partnership for years prior to the earthquake. With WFP's support, World Vision has provided support to vulnerable families and children through various initiatives, including food distribution, maternal and child cash transfers, assistance for internally displaced persons (IDPs), and cash-for-assets programmes.

The initiative is helping over 24,000 people in Epworth who are facing food insecurity due to the effects of the El Niño-induced drought.

Over 32 million people face catastrophic hunger as a deepening crisis threatens lives, crisis deepens as urgent aid and global response lag behind.
