Give children a healthy future

Your gift today will help children to survive and thrive

Join us to reach 2,322,000 children

Every day, children are dying from preventable causes like malnutrition and dirty water. We work with whole communities to bring lifesaving healthcare, clean water, nutritious food, quality education, and the means for families to earn a sustainable income.

With your support, we can vaccinate children from preventable diseases, give children a quality education and prevent children dying from malnutrition. You can make sure every child we meet has a childhood – and a future – that’s safe, healthy, thriving and full of potential.

Fighting malnutrition

Malnutrition affects children like Pedro (left) and Teresa from Angola. They were diagnosed at a World Vision health screening and are eating enriched food called Plumpy'Nut® to aid their recovery. World Vision's nutrition centres provide health checks for children and nutritional supplement food where needed.

Health and vaccinations

You can support World Vision Mobile Health teams which visit places like this internally displaced person's camp in Afghanistan. They provide basic health services including growth monitoring and free vaccinations for children and their families.

Education

We train teachers, help schools with repairs and provide free classes through Remedial Education Centres, like the one that Sumit (right) attends in India. RECs are an innovative community-led process that provides free learning support to children of age 6-14 years to instil basic knowledge about reading, writing, maths and life skills. They ensure that children attain appropriate age learning and also develop foundational, essential and applied life skills.

Hygiene

We work with communities to understand their needs, and work to provide simple improvements that help people maintain personal and environmental hygiene - like this latrine provided to a family in India. We also teach about the importance of soap and encourage a culture of hand washing.

Magreth's story

Magreth, 11, is a student in a school in Tanzania.

She, among many other children, relied on the local river for water.

They shared the river with cows and goats. The water was contaminated with diseases.

Things are different now in Magreth's village.

A sponsored child wearing a school uniform leans to wash her hands in clean water, outside at her school in Tanzania — Now, Magreth, 11, can attend school safely and happily.

World Vision helped to drill a borehole in the village - which means no more waterborne diseases, no more digging river streams to fetch unclean water in dry seasons or walking the long distance to collect water.

The villagers and teachers at her school are grateful for the transformation this has brought about. Richard, a teacher from the school says, “With accessibility to clean water students are now focusing more on their studies. And the rate of [children] diagnosed with waterborne diseases has gone down compared to before. With water in our school we are now growing vegetable gardens to ensure our students have essential nutrients”.

Magreth and other children at the village now access safe, clean water.

Now with the presence of modern latrines and hand washing facilities I feel safe at my school
