President’s Budget supports funding increases critical to meeting growing global needs<\/li>\n

Increases to foreign assistance are critical to address the significant global impacts of COVID-19, conflict and climate, and to elevate the U.S. government’s ability to respond to the needs of vulnerable children and their families.<\/p>\n

Our faith compels us to respond and to ensure the U.S. government is doing its part.”<\/p>\n
“The FY 2022 budget request calls for critical life-saving funding and we appreciate the Administration’s acknowledgement that this funding must increase,” added World Vision’s Director of Government Relations, Lisa Bos. “We hope more can be done to increase funding for development programs that are particularly focused on the most vulnerable children. We must ensure that children are at the center of U.S. foreign assistance programs and have access to the skills and services needed to not only survive but thrive.
