About World Vision
World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organisation working with children, families and communities internationally on development, disaster relief and advocacy. A focus on children and families connects individual experiences with wider community conditions. The organisation’s activities bring attention to wellbeing and opportunity, giving its mission a human setting beyond the description of a programme alone.
Children, Families and Community Development
World Vision works with children, families and communities through development activities. Its community focus connects individual wellbeing with the wider environment in which people live, bringing children’s interests into programmes concerned with longer-term development.
Disaster Relief and Advocacy
Disaster relief sits alongside advocacy and development work. This range connects assistance during crises with continuing community interests, giving the organisation a role in both urgent humanitarian needs and broader discussion of the issues affecting families.
A Christian Humanitarian Purpose
Its Christian identity forms part of its humanitarian mission. The organisation combines attention to children and families with support for communities, connecting relief and development through a purpose centred on people experiencing hardship. The needs and interests of young people provide a shared focus across its work. This connects practical activities with the wider importance of supporting children within the families and communities around them.
