Where we work
World Vision works in nearly 100 countries, including 40 of the 60 countries classified by OECD as “fragile” and in 12 of the 15 classified as “extremely fragile.”
Transformational Development
Poverty is complex and multi-faceted, measured not only by income but also by education opportunities, healthcare access, and other standards of living. Such multidimensional poverty affects 1.3 billion people around the world, hindering them from reaching their full potential.
Our ultimate goal is to see transformed environments, where all children everywhere have the chance to enjoy fuller lives.
Approach to Change
Our integrated approach to development focuses on working alongside communities and with local, national, and global partners toward a shared vision of a world where children are thriving within transformed families, communities, and societies and experiencing dignity, justice, peace, and hope. We implement holistic, evidence-based solutions that address the root causes of poverty and injustice, adapting them to fit local contexts. Through a process of continual evaluation, reflection, and refinement, we help ensure the greatest possible impact for children.
To promote sustainable change, we ensure that people and communities are active participants in decisions affecting their lives, are empowered to set their own goals and advocate for their needs, and are equipped to continue progress long after our programs have ended.
Our Work
We have over 70 years of experience working with communities, donors, partners, and governments in some of the world’s toughest places. This means being on the ground when disaster strikes as well as supporting long-term solutions that build resilience and pathways out of poverty at individual, household, community, and societal levels.
We tackle poverty at its roots. Our integrated, multi-sectoral approach aims to transform the way the world works for children and create a lasting impact that will live on for generations to come.
