World Vision is an international humanitarian organization serving the world's poor and displaced by providing programs that help save lives, bring hope, and restore dignity. They help transform the lives of the world's poorest children and families in nearly 100 countries, including the United States. They extend assistance to all people, regardless of their religious beliefs, gender, race, or ethnic background.
Here's just a sample of the work they do:
-
Helping people to discover and use their own vision, skills, and resources to move from abject poverty to abundant living.
-
Targeting critical needs: clean water, reliable food supplies, access to basic health care, access to education, and income-generating microeconomic development.
-
Partnering with churches, governments, local organizations, and international agencies.
-
Responding to sudden natural disasters and slow-building humanitarian emergencies around the world.
-
Saving lives and reducing suffering by tracking crises, pre-positioning emergency supplies for immediate response, and remaining after the crisis to rebuild and restore communities.
-
Engaging a worldwide AIDS Hope Initiative of prevention and care, especially for widows, orphans, and vulnerable children, that brings a compassionate response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
