About World Vision
With 75 years of experience, World Vision brings deep expertise, evidence-based solutions, and a commitment to innovation that drives sustainable, community-led impact. Our faith-driven identity and long-standing presence foster trust, strengthen partnerships, and enable transformative solutions that improve the well-being of vulnerable children and families.
Where We Work
With over 33,000 staff in nearly 100 countries — most serving in their home regions — World Vision works in 41 of the 61 countries classified as “fragile,” including 12 of the 18 deemed “extremely fragile.” Our global presence allows us to respond rapidly to crises and disasters while remaining committed to long-term recovery, helping children, families, and communities rebuild.
Transformational Development
Poverty is complex and multi-faceted, measured not only by income but also by education opportunities, healthcare access, and other standards of living. Such multidimensional poverty affects over 1 billion people around the world, hindering them from reaching their full potential.
Our ultimate goal is to see transformed environments, where all children everywhere have the chance to enjoy fuller lives.
Our Approach to Change
Our integrated approach to development focuses on working alongside communities and with local, national, and global partners toward a shared vision of a world where children are thriving within transformed families, communities, and societies and experiencing dignity, justice, peace, and hope. We implement holistic, evidence-based solutions that address the root causes of poverty and injustice, adapting them to fit local contexts. Through a process of continual evaluation, reflection, and refinement, we help ensure the greatest possible impact for children.
To promote sustainable change, we ensure that people and communities are active participants in decisions affecting their lives, are empowered to set their own goals and advocate for their needs, and are equipped to continue progress long after our programs have ended.
