Monthly giving makes
lasting change possible

Now 6-year-old Cheru collects water from the tap near her home.

Cheru spent two hours each day collecting dirty water. But we believed in Cheru. Together with World Vision, her community built a pipeline for clean water. Cheru and her neighbors now have a chance to pursue their God-given potential. You see, our belief in each other creates a world of lasting change. Join us as a monthly giver and be a part of the mission.

Turn your belief into action

What could your belief in others make possible?
When you donate monthly, your belief could do things like.

Protect kids from harm by preventing child marriage and trafficking

Help distribute emergency aid when disaster strikes and rebuild lives

Empower entire communities to lift themselves out of poverty for good

Make sure communities have lasting access to life-saving basics like clean water

In 2021, 90% of our total operating expenses went to programs that benefit children, families, and communities—just 12% to overhead (to cover fundraising, management, and general expenses).

Is 10% overhead good? The Better Business Bureau recommends a non-profit spend no more than 35% of related contributions on fundraising.

Discover what belief can make possible

Every story of transformation starts with a small act of belief in one another. When we choose to believe in others, we help unlock the potential for lasting change—in others and in us.
