The Bible tells us to pray for those in positions of authority. As we begin the new year, let’s lift up our leaders — who can all be voices of change.
Together we’re making lifesaving impact in the places it’s hardest to be a child.
For 75 years, we’ve helped the world see vulnerable children through the eyes of Jesus.
We are proud to be held accountable by these third-party evaluators and our board of directors.

World Vision helps the world see through eyes of faith
Following Jesus’ mission is our mission
We’re founded on the belief that Jesus came so that all people may have life to the fullest. That’s why we address both the physical and spiritual roots of poverty, working toward restoration and wholeness on every level.
Mobilizing the global Church with love
World Vision has mobilized the Church in this mission since 1950. Every year we equip more than 50,000 pastors and church leaders around the globe, together showing Jesus’ love to children and families in their communities.
Celebrating lasting change
We’ve witnessed God’s powerful provision as children and families are equipped with tools and training to create lasting change for generations to come. Together, by 2030, we aim to equip 300 million people to free themselves from the grip of extreme poverty.
