Child Protection | World Vision Philanthropy

Our impact

Sustainable impact comes about when attitudes and behaviors are changed. Our decades of experience in child protection and the trust brought about by our long-term presence in communities allows us to address harmful cultural norms that condone and perpetuate exploitation, abuse, and violence. Since issues vary depending on context, we identify solutions by working with families, local and faith leaders, and children.
