For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me…whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25:35-36
We keep Christ at the center of our work through
Founded in 1950, World Vision has been helping children and their communities for decades. We are driven by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to realize their full, God-given potential.
As one of the largest Christian humanitarian organizations in the world, we have the infrastructure, experience, and relationships to bring about lasting change:
Lasting change is possible. We’ve seen it. In gallons of clean water. In rising literacy rates. In jobs secured. Millions lifting themselves out of poverty. Millions who now have food and life-giving water and refuge—all thanks to our donors, partners, and God’s guiding hand.

Our community of donors have also been transformed by this journey, growing closer to the heart of God. Hear from them directly:

This massive 18-month 70+ country response is addressing the immediate needs of the children and communities we serve as well as the secondary impacts that are even more threatening. Thank you for praying, and giving as you are called or able.
The exodus of Rohingya children, women, and men fleeing violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine state has brought nearly one million people to Bangladesh since 2017. These families are living in what are considered the world’s largest and most congested refugee settlements.
