HOW DONATIONS ARE SPENT

Lives transformed forever. Here's exactly how.

Transforming children's lives

Together, in 2025, World Vision UK supported 1.8 million children in 184 projects across 35 countries.

Altogether our work directly benefited 3.3 million people. Within this, we responded to emergencies across 29 countries, supporting 2.8 million people - including 1.4 million children.

The wider impact of our work reached an estimated 7 million people, including 4 million children,

It’s all thanks to incredible supporters across the UK who believe every child deserves a chance.

For every pound spent by World Vision UK, 82p went towards our work to care for and protect vulnerable children around the world and 18p was spent on raising another pound.

Who are you helping?

Sudanese refugee children

We stand with children facing the most difficult circumstances around the world. We partner with children, their families and their communities so that, together, they can overcome poverty and experience life in all its fullness. 

In Sudan, following the outbreak of conflict in April 2023, we’ve been able to reach 3 million people with emergency assistance. Our contribution in 2024 reached 135,000 people with health, nutrition, and water and sanitation support, including 70,000 children.

How can you help?

There’s still so much to be done. Millions of children around the world are struggling to survive, and many risk losing their childhoods, their families, and their hope for a better future.

For just £30 a month, you can become a sponsor and join a community dedicated to giving vulnerable children a brighter future. By pooling your donation with others, we can maximize the impact and provide consistent, sustainable support to not just the child you sponsor, but entire communities across the world.
