World Vision is an international partnership of Christians whose mission is to follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in working with the poor and oppressed to promote human transformation, seek justice, and bear witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God.
We pursue this mission through integrated, holistic commitment to:
- Transformational developmentĀ that is community-based and sustainable, focused especially on the needs of children.
- Emergency reliefĀ that assists people afflicted by conflict or disaster.
- Promotion of justiceĀ that seeks to change unjust structures affecting the poor among whom we work.
- Partnerships with churchesĀ to contribute to spiritual and social transformation.
- Public awarenessĀ that leads to informed understanding, giving, involvement, and prayer.
- Witness to Jesus Christ by life, deed, word, and sign that encourages people to respond to the Gospel.
We regard all people as created and loved by God. We give priority to people before money, structure, systems, and other institutional machinery.
We act in ways that respect the dignity, uniqueness, and intrinsic worth of every person ā the poor, the donors, our staff and their families, boards, and volunteers. We celebrate the richness of diversity in human personality, culture, and contribution.
We are a Christian organization working to help communities lift themselves out of poverty For good.
