We tackle poverty at its roots

At World Vision, we are relentless in going where the need is greatest, where children are most vulnerable. That’s why your support is so important. Together, we can tackle poverty at its roots and work with communities to ensure long term change, so progress is continued long after we’ve left.

For 70 years, we have been driven by a simple aim: to transform the lives of the world's most vulnerable children. Working in partnership with others, we can have a greater impact in the lives of those we serve, so we are proud to work with dedicated, like-minded partners to achieve this aim.

Inspired by our Christian faith and partnering with people just like you, we work in the most dangerous places to help all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender. This work has brought better futures for 200 million vulnerable children and counting.

In collaboration with partners, we have already achieved so much around the world

The transformation you can support

You can help people all around the world survive and rebuild after emergencies, war and natural disasters, become economically resilient to future challenges and ensure children and their families have access to healthcare, clean water and nutritious food.

Help ensure children don't starve

Millions of children die each year from preventable causes. It’s a lottery of dirty water, infections they weren’t immunised against, malnutrition and illnesses that can be treated with the right health care. 22-month-old Mishu from the Democratic Republic of Congo is being treated for severe malnutrition. Ten months ago, he fell ill with malaria and typhoid and has never really regained his health.

Help children survive in emergencies

When disaster strikes we are on the ground, quickly providing immediate support – and we stay for the long term, helping rebuild lives for children, families and communities. We help children like Urmi, 12, from Bangladesh. The super cyclone Amphan left a trail of destruction in her village. Houses were blown away, farms flooded and fisheries inundated. Hit by twin disasters of coronavirus and cyclone, the villagers were unable to go to cyclone shelters.

Support community development for lasting change

We work closely with communities to ensure that not only are their immediate needs met, but that they can transform their lives for the better in the long term. You can choose to fund one project, or part of a project in particular, such as the building of a borehole to provide a community with clean water or providing microloans to support women to start their own businesses. Children in Eswatini will benefit from their community's beekeeping and business skills training, pictured here. These increase and diversify the products and resilience of small, vulnerable farming households.
