World Vision is committed to improving the health and nutrition of women and children in the areas in which it works, contributing to the global reduction of under-five and maternal mortality. Through its prevention and care programming, World Vision aims to provide support for children and their families needlessly killed from the HIV and AIDS pandemic.

World Vision also works in communities hardest hit by in justices, recoginizing that Maternal health is the most critical determinant of neonatal outcome, and a healthy newborn is the best promise for the future.
