At World Vision, we intentionally focus on women and girls in every aspect of our work, because we know that when women and girls are empowered, everyone wins.
World Vision’s Strong Women Strong World is a movement of people who believe gender equality is key to effective development and creating a peaceful and stable world. Who stand for equal rights, freedoms, access and opportunities for women and girls – so that families are better cared for, communities are more prosperous, and progress is accelerated.
By joining World Vision’s Strong Women Strong World movement and events, you can help every woman and girl reach her full potential.
We help girls stay in school and receive quality education, by training teachers, parents and peers in literacy and numeracy methods, and by providing schools with clean water, latrines and private sanitary rooms, so that when her period comes, she can manage her menstrual hygiene.
We train community health workers who in return equip mothers with vital information and support during pregnancy and the child’s early years. Together, mothers in the community learn how to spot signs of malnutrition, to cook nutritious meals and take care of their children.
We bring clean water close to home which frees up the precious hours girls and women spend daily on collecting water. World Vision is the leading non-governmental provider of clean water in the developing world, reaching one new person every 10 seconds and three more schools every day with clean water.
We work to protect girls from female genital mutilation (FGM) and to empower and equip families with realistic alternatives to the bride-price economy. Our programmes engage children, youth, parents, community and faith leaders to address harmful practices and challenge gender norms and the status-quo together.
We equip and empower women by increasing their knowledge, business and farming skills, financial literacy, leadership opportunities, access to financial services, and incomes, so that she can take care of her family, provide her children with nutritious meals, and send them to school. Every 60 seconds we empower a family with the tools to overcome poverty.
