Donate to help children | World Vision UK

Will you help children in the world's most dangerous places?

Together we can help the most vulnerable children overcome poverty and experience fullness of life. We work to reach children of all backgrounds, even in the most dangerous places, inspired by our Christian faith.

When you donate to Childhood Rescue you’ll help children living in danger. Children who’ve seen their homes torn apart by conflict and natural disasters.

Children who arrive in refugee camps traumatised and searching for safety. You can help them survive, recover from trauma and rebuild a brighter future.

Give children a life free from fear, and the future they deserve.

Donate to help children when they're at their most vulnerable

Survive

Too many children are on the edge of survival. Weak with hunger, at risk of disease, homeless. Your donation will help children survive with life-saving food, water, and shelter.

Recover

During a crisis, many children lose their loved ones, homes, and life as they once knew it. You can help children recover from trauma with counselling and specialist care.

Rebuild

It’s almost impossible to think about the future when you’re fighting for survival. You’ll give children a chance to rebuild their future – to learn, play, and enjoy being a child.

Supporting refugees

In 2017, over 720,000 Rohingya fled their country and settled in Bangladesh. It's thanks to supporters, that we're providing a safe environment for the children in the camps. From tarps and poles to help get them through monsoons, to clean water and toilets. We're treating malnourished children and giving them nutritious food. And we advocate on their behalf.

Emergency aid

When an emergency such as the Beirut explosion hits, we're on the ground supporting where we can. Providing safety and shelter for families and children, making sure those affected have enough food, and helping communities rebuild and recover. In this photo, our team walks the streets of Beirut offering support to those who haven't evacuated.

Helping fight coronavirus

In Bangladesh, trained World Vision staff are training and preparing the community to protect themselves from the threat of coronavirus. The message they're delivering will be familiar to anyone in the UK - stay home, wash your hands frequently, and social distance. Donating to Childhood Rescue helps initiatives like this in times of crisis, in communities that are the most vulnerable.

Coronavirus in refugee camps

Families living in Syrian refugee camps have already escaped from unimaginable dangers, and now are facing a new danger that they can't run from. Many are afraid to leave their tent. "Seven years in Lebanon, and this is by far the toughest phase" mum of five Fatima said. "I still recall the bombing in Syria, and how scary it was, but you can hear the explosion and run away from it. This virus is unseen and unheard - it is like an invisible weapon."

Even if we don't realise we are making an impact, we are! We need to change the lives of these beautiful children.
