Program areas at World Vision
International Programs - The Organization partners with families and communities around the world to design and implement locally contextualized plans to overcome poverty by helping to establish sustainable access to critical resources such as clean water, nutritious food, basic healthcare, education, income-generating opportunities, child protection programs, and other essentials. One of the Organization's primary funding sources for this work is child sponsorship, through which the Organization partners with long-term individual child sponsors to empower and equip the most vulnerable children to attain physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Additionally, the Organization responds to natural and human-caused disasters to save lives and help restore livelihoods. For additional information visit www.worldvision.org/our-work.
Public Awareness and Education - The Organization seeks to make government officials and the public aware of, and encourage them to take action on, global poverty and justice related issues. World Vision advocates on behalf of children and families living in poverty to increase understanding of issues and involvement in solutions. For additional information visit worldvisionadvocacy.org
Domestic Programs - The Organization works with local churches, teachers, business owners, nonprofit organizations, and volunteers throughout the United States to serve distressed communities and neighborhoods in a variety of U.S. locations, primarily through distribution of donated products such as clothing, educational supplies, and home improvement materials, and through relief response to domestic disasters such as hurricanes and floods. This work is carried out through the Organization's network of product distribution warehouses, and through its contributions to local churches and nonprofit partners.
