Inspired by our Chris­t­ian val­ues, we are ded­i­cated to work­ing with the world’s most vul­ner­a­ble people.

We serve all peo­ple regard­less of reli­gion, race, eth­nic­ity or gender.

Our Mis­sion

World Vision is an inter­na­tional part­ner­ship of Chris­tians whose mis­sion is to fol­low our Lord and Sav­iour Jesus Christ in work­ing with the poor and oppressed to pro­mote human trans­for­ma­tion, seek jus­tice and bear wit­ness to the good news of the King­dom of God.

Trans­form­ing Communities

Because poverty has both local and global causes, World Vision works within com­mu­ni­ties and across geo­graph­i­cal areas to help indi­vid­u­als and groups improve the well-being of chil­dren and over­come poverty.

Respond­ing to Disasters

When dis­as­ters strike, World Vision is glob­ally posi­tioned to help with imme­di­ate needs like food, water and shel­ter. World Vision also works with com­mu­ni­ties to recover from dis­as­ters and pre­vent future catastrophes.

Seek­ing Global Change

World Vision engages insti­tu­tions, donors and the gen­eral pub­lic to address the global prob­lems that per­pet­u­ate poverty. Advo­cacy staff empower com­mu­ni­ties to speak up for their rights, both locally and globally.

Child Spon­sor­ship

Child spon­sor­ship is one of the pri­mary min­istries of World Vision. For a lit­tle over a dol­lar a day ($35 dol­lars a month) you can “spon­sor” a child and pro­vide that child with the resources he or she needs to live a healthy life.
Your $35 a month pro­vides:
• Edu­ca­tion
• Skills Train­ing
• Nutri­tious Food
• Agri­cul­tural Assis­tance
• Health Care
• Safe Water

Child spon­sor­ship is an excit­ing jour­ney of transformation—for the child you’re help­ing and for you—especially if you use all the tools avail­able to help you bond with your spon­sored child.

One to two weeks after you spon­sor a child, you’ll receive a wel­come pack­age that includes your spon­sored child’s photo and per­sonal infor­ma­tion, as well as facts about his or her com­mu­nity and coun­try. You’ll also receive a mag­net frame so you can dis­play your child’s photo on your refrigerator.

World Vision will keep you apprised of your spon­sored child’s progress with annual progress reports. Four times a year, World Vision will send you greet­ing cards that you can sign and return for your spon­sored child. Of course, your spon­sored child will be thrilled to receive let­ters or pho­tos from you anytime.
