Go with us even further
World Vision is actively scaling up prevention and relief interventions across the globe. We are supporting efforts of our local partners by sharing stay-healthy messaging, helping set up public hand-washing stations, and distributing soap, sanitizer, and masks where appropriate. These preventative measures have always been an important part of our child sponsorship program, because in places of extreme poverty, improving health, water, sanitation, and hygiene saves lives – and now, more than ever.
Join us in these efforts by sponsoring a child today.
