Forced to flee: Top countries refugees are coming from
Discover the top countries where refugees come from, the reasons why they’re forced to flee, and how you can help them rebuild their lives with hope and dignity.
More than 700 million people worldwide are living in extreme poverty — most of them women and children.
With an income of less than $2.15 per day, they are
deprived of basic human needs like access to clean water, nutritious food, healthcare, education, and spiritual nurture.
We have over 70 years of experience working with communities, donors, partners, and governments to create opportunities for better futures for vulnerable children … even in the toughest places.
In 2022, 89% of World Vision’s total operating expenses were used for programs that benefit children, families, and communities in need.
Our integrated approach includes water, healthcare, education, child protection, and income generation, so every child can grow into who God created them to be.
We serve alongside the poor and oppressed as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love for all people. World Vision serves every child we can, of any faith or none.
