A foundation of faith

A Sunday school teacher’s gift and prayer to a young Bob Pierce sparked something that would one day reach across the world. That small act of faith led him to follow God’s call, planting the roots of World Vision and decades of global impact. Now, 75 years later, those seeds continue to grow, transforming lives and communities around the world.

If we had clean water

Anzazi gave birth at a clinic that had no clean water. She had to wait four hours while her mother-in-law collected water for her to wash herself and her newborn.

Teaching where she once learned

Former sponsored child Phanet, 19, now teaches fifth grade in the same rural Cambodian classroom where she once studied. With support from World Vision’s sponsorship program, her family’s farm grew into a thriving business, and Phanet overcame challenges to pursue her education. Today, she is determined to pass on the gift of learning to the next generation, while continuing to dream herself.

Eyes that shine again

Fatima arrived at a malnutrition stabilization center carrying her 9-month-old son, Hamed, who was dangerously underweight. For six days, she stayed by his side as he received emergency care. With no water available at the clinic, her other children walked 45 minutes each way to collect what they could from the valley. Hamed slowly regained strength and was transferred to outpatient care, where he now receives therapeutic food and regular checkups. His cheeks are full again, and his weight has climbed back into a healthy range.
