World Vision International Nepal
World Vision is a global organisation that has helped transform the lives of millions of children in vulnerable situations. We believe every child has the right to a full life filled with hope, promise, and well-being. We collaborate with communities, civil society, governments, donors, and the private sector, building partnerships based on trust, shared goals, and accountability. This commitment inspires us to serve with compassion, justice, love, and hope. We are a child-focused organisation driven by Christian values to serve children and families regardless of their religion, age, gender, ethnicity, class and caste. As a child-focused relief, development, and advocacy organisation, we work to bring lasting change in the lives of children and families, ensuring our support is inclusive and respectful of all.
World Vision International (WVI) Nepal is part of the World Vision International global partnership, which operates in nearly 100 countries worldwide. World Vision established its presence in Nepal through cross-border humanitarian support from 1982 to 1993, assisting communities affected by the Udayapur earthquake in 1988 and the floods of 1993. Formally established in Nepal in 2001, World Vision launched eight Area Development Programmes, expanding child sponsorship, health, education, and community services across underserved districts to contribute to the well-being of children.
Today, WVI Nepal implements long-term development programmes in 17 districts—Udayapur, Sarlahi, Mahottari, Rautahat, Sindhuli, Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Lamjung, Jumla, Kailali, Kanchanpur, Achham, Doti, Dailekh, Jajarkot, Banke, and Bajhang—across all seven provinces of Nepal. The organisation delivers its country strategy through integrated development, advocacy, and disaster management programmes, implementing innovative and sectoral interventions in local communities and neighbourhoods. Its programmes focus on education, health, nutrition, child protection, resilience, disaster risk reduction, community engagement, and sponsorship, with gender equality and social inclusion mainstreamed across all interventions. More than half of these programmes are long-term initiatives that have been implemented for over a decade in their respective programme areas.
Through its 2026–2030 Country Strategy, WVI Nepal aims to improve the well-being of one million children, particularly the most vulnerable, by ensuring that children are protected from violence, are well nourished, achieve improved learning outcomes, and experience positive and peaceful relationships within their families and communities. These outcomes will be achieved through an Integrated Programme Framework (IPF) focused on protection, nutrition and livelihoods, and inclusive education, implemented through a combination of Core Project Models integrated into Area Programmes (AP) and grant-funded projects over the next five years.
