Our impact to transform children's lives

Impact Report, 2020

World Vision is driven by our desire to serve God and transform the lives of vulnerable children.

In 2020, we continued our commitment to the most vulnerable children, alongside responding to COVID-19 in both ongoing and new programmes.

We reached nearly 2 million children in 174 projects across 36 countries, benefitting a total of over 3.6 million people. We responded to humanitarian emergencies in 24 countries, reaching more than 1 million people – over half of them children.

Our Impact Report summary provides an overview of our work and is accompanied by five in-depth case studies.
