Our Promise, going further
World Vision's Our Promise strategy represents our firm promise to the world’s most vulnerable children: We will continue to transform lives in the world’s hardest-to-reach places, empowering every girl and boy to reach their God-given potential.
Guided by 75 years of experience and expertise, our dedicated staff employ proven and effective development, relief, and advocacy practices to empower communities to become self-sufficient and bring real, lasting change.
1: Living out our faith and calling with boldness and humility.
2: Deepening our commitment to the world’s most vulnerable children.
3: Focusing our ministry for greater results.
4: Collaborating and advocating for broader impact.
5: Delivering high-quality, sustainable funding to the field.
We celebrate and maximise the four elements that make World Vision distinctive: our Christian faith, focus on children, community-empowering approach, and ability to achieve large-scale impact on child well-being.
Together, these qualities set us apart and provide World Vision with a unique opportunity to fulfil its promise to the world’s most vulnerable girls and boys.

OUR GLOBAL CAMPAIGN
In September 2023, World Vision launched ENOUGH, an unprecedented global campaign to mobilise children, citizens and powerholders to declare that in a world of abundance, we’ve had “ENOUGH!” of child hunger and malnutrition.
Our vision for the campaign is:
A world where every child enjoys enough nourishing food so they can thrive.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS IN FY24:
"Governments and non-governmental organisations must work hand in hand to provide healthy food for the most vulnerable children and families to put an end to child hunger and malnutrition."
