Ready to respond

With a network of fully staffed and stocked warehouses around the U.S., we stand ready to respond to any domestic disaster.

Vast network

We work with our vast network of partners — over 3,600 churches, schools, and other partners — to identify the needs of those impacted after a disaster, assess the damage, and distribute relief and reconstruction supplies where they’re needed.

Trusted partner

When disaster strikes, we are on the ground, quickly providing immediate support — and we stay to help children, families, and communities rebuild for the future.

More than 700 million people worldwide are living in extreme poverty — most of them women and children. 

With an income of less than $2.15 per day, they are 
deprived of basic human needs like access to  clean water, nutritious food, healthcare, education, and spiritual nurture.

We believe that, together, we can change this.

Hi, we’re World Vision!

We have over 70 years of experience working with communities, donors, partners, and governments to create opportunities for better futures for vulnerable children … even in the toughest places.

Keeping costs down


In 2023, 89% of World Vision’s total operating expenses were used for programs that benefit children, families, and communities in need.

Uprooting poverty


Our integrated approach includes water, healthcare, education, child protection, and income generation, so every child can grow into who God created them to be.

Abiding in Jesus


We serve alongside the poor and oppressed as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love for all people. World Vision serves every child we can, of any faith or none.
