World Vision Emergency Fund

Helping children before, during and after crisis

The hardest seasons rarely announce their arrival.

Conflict. Natural disasters. Hunger. Displacement.

Around the world, millions of children and families are living through crises they never saw coming. In places like Sudan, Lebanon, Colombia, Nepal and Venezuela, families face uncertainty, loss and disruption to everyday life.

What helps us through life's most difficult seasons is often knowing we do not face them alone.

Through the Emergency Fund, supporters like you are helping communities prepare for challenges, respond when disaster strikes and build resilience for the future.

Thank you for being part of a global community that helps children and families find support, stability and hope through life's most difficult seasons.

Help communities rebuild stronger

Support long-term recovery, preparedness and resilience so communities can face future challenges with greater confidence and hope.

The power of being prepared together

When emergencies happen, strong communities make all the difference.

For more than 75 years, World Vision has worked alongside communities, churches, local leaders and families to help children overcome poverty and build brighter futures. Through these long-term partnerships, trusted relationships are already in place before disaster strikes.

That means when emergencies happen, support can reach children faster, helping families find safety, stability and hope for the future.

Venezuela

When devastating earthquakes struck Venezuela in June 2026, World Vision was able to respond quickly because trusted community networks were already in place.

Within weeks, more than 90,000 children and families in the worst-affected areas received food assistance, safe water, hygiene supplies, shelter support and access to Child Friendly Spaces. Alongside emergency response, World Vision continues to work with communities to help children recover, rebuild confidence and look to the future with hope.

Phillipines

Since 1954, World Vision has worked alongside communities across the Philippines, helping families strengthen their resilience to disasters. When Super Typhoon Haiyan devastated the country in 2013, local teams were already in place and able to reach 1.6 million people with emergency support.

Today, communities continue to build resilience through savings groups, livestock projects and financial training, helping families strengthen their livelihoods and prepare for future challenges.

Sudan

For many communities in Sudan, climate shocks were already making it harder for families to grow food and provide for their children long before conflict escalated. World Vision has worked alongside communities to strengthen resilience through climate-smart agriculture, including drought-resistant crops, water conservation and sustainable farming practices.

As displacement, hunger and insecurity continue to grow, that long-term presence is helping deliver food assistance, healthcare, clean water and child protection support to vulnerable children and families.

Lebanon

Since 1975, World Vision has worked alongside children and families across Lebanon, helping communities build resilience amid conflict, displacement and economic hardship. Through school Eco Clubs, children are developing leadership skills and taking action to improve their communities, helping create stronger foundations for the future.

Alongside this work, World Vision provides emergency assistance and psychosocial support to children and families affected by ongoing instability.
