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:

• Applying 70 years of field work to transforming lives
• Working in over 1,400 program areas worldwide, including in the U.S.
• 37,000+ staff in nearly 100 countries— 95 percent of them working in their home regions.
• Integrated model that addresses the many causes of extreme poverty
• Tailored approach that is community-based and community-owned

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.

• Every 60 seconds, World Vision is helping more than 200 people survive, recover, and rebuild from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
• Because of our community-focused solutions, for every child you help, four more children benefit, too.
• We are reaching one new person every 10 seconds and three more schools every day with clean water.
• Over a five year period, 89% of the severely malnourished children we treated made a full recovery.
• Over 97% of our microloans are repaid, at which point the capital is recycled so more loans can be made.
• In just five years, together we impacted the lives of over 200 million vulnerable children by tackling the root causes of poverty.
