About us
World Vision is the world’s largest international children’s charity, working to bring real hope to millions of children in the world’s hardest places. And we do it all as a sign of God’s unconditional love. Click on the link to view our latest jobs: http://www.worldvision.org.uk/careers Poverty, conflict and disaster leave millions of children living in fear. Fear of hunger and disease. Fear of violence, conflict and exploitation. Fear that robs them of a childhood. Our local staff work in thousands of communities across the world to free children from fear. They know the names and stories of each child they help to support. They live and work alongside them, their families and communities to help change the world they live in for good. Our worldwide presence means we're quick to respond to emergencies like conflict and natural disasters. We also use our influence and global reach to ensure that children are represented at every level of decision-making. Founded more than 65 years ago by American missionary, Bob Pierce, our vision is of a world where every child has the chance to live life to the full. A world where each child is loved, protected and cared for, and enjoys good health and an education. A world where every child is free from fear. We want you to be part of making this vision a reality. Just like our staff all over the world, you’ll get to know the names of the children you help. You can sponsor, donate, pray, campaign or simply share their stories. However you choose to become involved, you will experience what it means to bring real and lasting change to children in the world’s hardest places. Do you have a child protection or adult beneficiary concern or any other concern regarding World Vision's work or staff conduct? World Vision is committed to taking action on every safeguarding report we receive.

The closure of schools in #Sudan not only disrupts academic progress but also places children at risk of psychological distress, violence, and social isolation. Education stands as a fundamental human right, and should the conflict lead to prolonged closures, the repercussions for Sudanese society would be devastating. Please act now: wvuk.org/L6km50SJ93x #SudanAppeal

This is Ruth* from #Kenya. She's now 13 but aged just 8 she was forced into marriage. Ruth is one of an average 12 million girls, under the age of 18, who enter #ChildMarriage each year. It's a shocking statistic, but behind every number is the story of a real girl with shattered hopes and dreams. You can learn why Ruth was married off and what happened next here: wvuk.org/GBx450SI0Of #FightForHerRights #StandWithHer #SponsorAGirl #ChildSponsorship #FightForHerFuture *Name changed to protect identity

#ChildSponsorship creates a life-changing impact like no other. “As part of the sponsorship programme, I took part in reading camps, learned about children’s rights and road safety, hygiene and sanitation. All this made me joyful and improved my knowledge and confidence,” says Samnang, 18. You can make a difference in a child's life too. Sponsor a child like Samnang today: wvuk.org/Jyeg50SryQo

Meet Neha, a brave and fearless advocate for girls' rights. Once on the brink of becoming a child bride, she fought back against this harmful tradition at the age of 14. Her determination not only stopped her own #ChildMarriage but also inspired her to protect three other young girls from the same fate. Neha is a leader in her community, raising awareness about #ChildLabour, violence against girls, and breaking taboos around menstruation through her training sessions. Girls like Neha are rising up worldwide, and you can stand with them. By sponsoring a girl wvuk.org/rJMT50SFk67, you create ripples of change, supporting young advocates like Neha. #FightForHerRights and sponsor a girl by Oct. 11, International #DayofTheGirl.
