Between crisis and possibilities, there is you.

The reality for displaced children

For millions of families, becoming a refugee is not a choice but an abrupt upheaval; the moment home becomes unsafe, and life is overturned in an instant.

Today, nearly 49 million children are living in displacement, uprooted by conflict, violence and climate shocks. Children make up 2 in every 5 people displaced worldwide, yet their needs are too often unmet. For these families, safety is uncertain and stability fragile.

This is where you can make a difference. Hope is possible.

When children are protected and cared for, families and communities can begin to recover and rebuild. Last year, 18.6 million children across 70 countries received humanitarian support through the World Vision partnership.

From Child Friendly Spaces in Chad to education programmes for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, children are finding safety, stability and a future again.
