| | Our Holistic Approach
World Vision aims to transform the lives of the poor with assistance that is holistic and synergistic, addressing multiple inter-related needs such as clean water, healthcare, education, secure food sources, and economic growth. Ultimately, our goal is to build a community’s and individual’s capacity to solve their own problems.
A vital component of building that capacity is to create an “economic engine” that allows a poor community to escape poverty. The best way to do this is to invest in the entrepreneurial spirit among the poor themselves, providing them with the tools to participate in the marketplace and work their way to a better life.
By providing credit, business coaching, and access to markets, World Vision enables the poor to generate income and create new jobs. Find out how we work.
The majority of our loan clients live in communities served by World Vision development programs. Here, our clients may benefit from clean water, food, agricultural training, education, health care, and economic assistance like skills training — the macro foundations on which microbusinesses can begin to flourish.
World Vision began it’s first microcredit program in Colombia in 1993; today we operate microlending programs in more than 40 countries.
Microenterprise development enables the world’s poor to experience a dramatic increase in standard of living, health, and happiness. With hard work and assistance from World Vision, our loan clients’ lives are changed. |  |
