World Vision United States

Mission Statement

For 75 years, World Vision has helped the most vulnerable children overcome poverty and experience fullness of life — serving children of all backgrounds, even in the most dangerous places, inspired by our Christian faith.

Founded in 1950, we now work in nearly 100 countries, addressing every barrier between a child and a thriving future — and staying until change is permanent. Our work spans three areas:

LIFE — Clean water, sanitation, and hygiene (we're the largest non-governmental provider of clean water in the developing world), plus health and nutrition that help mothers deliver safely and children grow strong.

HOPE — Child protection, rapid emergency response when disaster strikes, and empowerment programs that help children and families recognize their own worth, agency, and capacity to change their circumstances.

FUTURE — Economic empowerment, education, and intentional investment in women and girls — the tools families need to break the cycle of poverty for good.

We serve alongside the poor and oppressed as a demonstration of God's unconditional love for all people — every child we can reach, of any faith or none. Building on 75 years of proven impact, we've set our most ambitious goal yet: to reach 300 million of the world's most vulnerable people by 2030. Your gift helps get us there.
