World Vision Lesotho

 

World Vision International Lesotho (WVIL) is a member of World Vision International, a global Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and their communities to overcome poverty and injustice.

As witnesses, World Vision leaders and staff participate in God’s work in this world, serving as ambassadors of His spiritual and social transformation. We affirm the value of all our ministries as expressions of witness to Christ’s life and love. This is expressed and manifested in all aspect of our lives, deeds, words and signs.

For over 37 years WVIL has has been committed to protecting and caring for children in Lesotho especially the most vulnerable; walking in the footsteps of our Founder Bob Pierce who gave his last $5 to help care for an abandoned child in 1947.

Our calling to Lesotho is to bring extreme poverty to an end by reaching children who continue to struggle in the most vulnerable and hardest to reach places in Lesotho because we believe that even in the places where it is hardest to be a child, God is there and we should be there too.
