Changing systems, elevating children’s voices!
Advocacy is how we work to transform unjust systems and shift power for children.
Rooted in our faith and community partnerships, we influence policies, mobilise public action, lead campaign efforts, and champion the voices of children—especially the most vulnerable—so they can thrive, be heard, and help lead change.
Our Impact
“Children are the present and the future of our countries and the world.”
It all started in 1947 when our founder, Bob Pierce, gave the last $5 in his pocket to a missionary orphanage for the care of an abandoned Chinese girl. Since Bob founded World Vision more than 75 years ago, we have gone places others would not, and done tasks others could not, including the purchase of a ship in 1979 to rescue refugee families stranded at sea off the coast of Vietnam. Today, we continue to work in the places where it is hard to be a child because we believe that is where we are needed most.
The hard truth
Every child deserves a life rich in meaning and purpose. We work with the most vulnerable children in the world so they can experience God's promise—life in all its fullness. Our collective efforts create a rising tide of goodness that provides each child an opportunity to reach their true potential.
