On Thursday, February 4, join us for a compelling conversation about the desperate need for basic health care in the developing world— and how, together, we are helping save the precious lives of mothers and their children.
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.

Transformation is a two-way street. The people we serve might be poor in earthly possessions, but the lessons we have learned from our walk with them have been rich and life-changing. Our community of donors have also been transformed by this journey, growing closer to the heart of God. Hear from them directly:

Gifts to donor-advised funds, supporting organizations, and private foundations are not eligible for this provision.
