COVID-19 Response

Across the globe, World Vision teams are working to limit the spread of COVID-19 and reduce its impact on communities already dealing with things like poverty and conflict. We've already exceeded our initial goal of reaching 72 million people, and we continue to implement programmes to help the most vulnerable children and their families.

Millions of people - refugees, the displaced, and the poor - are at risk as COVID-19 sweeps across the world. World Vision staff are hard at work partnering to defeat the pandemic.

Coronavirus Health Crisis

A global pandemic requires a global response. At World Vision, we are united across every operational area, programme, and office.

 

For the past 70 years, when disaster strikes, we are on the ground, quickly providing immediate support: COVID-19 is no different.

We are responding in every country where we work in one form or another. Our global COVID-19 Response, has already exceeded our initial goal to provide targeted support to least 72 million vulnerable, and we're continuing to focus on families facing pre-existing vulnerability and fragility, where children are most at risk - conflict affected contexts, urban slums, and refugee settings.

The devastating aftershocks of the crisis are putting at least 30 million children’s lives at risk while 85 million children are more likely to experience violence. We urgently need to address both the direct health impacts of the virus and the indirect impacts brought about by viral containment measures and fall-out from the pandemic.

In every country and community where we work, we are committed to both limiting the spread of COVID-19 and also reducing its impact (physical, emotional, and economical) on vulnerable children their families by:
