World Vision International is a Christian relief and development organisation working for the well being of all people, especially children. Through emergency relief, education, health care, economic development and promotion of justice, World Vision helps communities help themselves.

Established in 1950 to care for orphans in Asia, World Vision has grown to embrace the larger issues of community development and advocacy for the poor in its mission to help children and their families build sustainable futures.

Working on six continents, World Vision is one of the largest Christian relief and development organizations in the world.

The heart of World Vision's work is in helping communities build stronger and healthier relationships. The absence of such relationships impoverishes communities.


Our vision for every child, life in all its fullness;
Our prayer for every heart, the will to make it so.

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.

The World Vision Partnership shares a common understanding bound together by six core values. These core values are the fundamental and guiding principles that determine World Vision's actions. The core values are our aim, a challenge that we seek to live and work to.

We are Christian.

We are committed to the poor.

We value people.

We are stewards.

We are partners.

We are responsive.

Thousands Petition Against Trafficking on World Vision Tour
Anne Thomas
The Gospel Herald

“Over 1,100 handprint ‘signatures’ have been added to a petition led by World Vision during its national anti-trafficking music tour.” This movement is an attempt to get awareness, support, and pressure on the government to try and regulate the trafficking of humans across the globe.

This is a problem which is frankly one f the most heartbreaking struggles that our world is dealing with today. “The petition calls on the Government to take more decisive action to stamp out human trafficking.” The ending of human trafficking would not only empower an entire region of women, but also give them the dignity and respect that they are entitled to. This is not some issue that the US is entitled to just sit back and watch get resolved. We are directly involved being that many American men fly to other foreign countries to engage in “sex tours.”

For the US not to act harshly and bring justice to those whose lives are being destroyed would bring truth to the slanderous remarks about our carelessness for those outside of our country. This march, this movement must call out the sick individuals who promote this behavior and lure more men into this disgusting lifestyle.
