Thanks to our supporters, we are able to touch the lives of thousands of children every day.

Children like Nova - caught up in conflict

Nova, 3, from Syria, outside her family's tent at an informal settlement in Lebanon. Wars are terrifying and traumatic experiences for children. Now they face trying to stay safe from coronavirus. Whilst many of us have homes to retreat to during this pandemic, thousands of refugees are forced to face it without shelter, running water or healthcare. We're working to change this.

Children like Wavinya - facing discrimination

Wavinya, 12, is a sponsored child from Kenya. She was born unable to walk. Thanks to her sponsor, her family is supported and included in community life. Negative attitudes towards people living with a disability can be the main barrier to their inclusion. By raising awareness about discrimination, and encouraging families living with disability to take part in activities, we help children have better opportunities.

Children like Mishu - facing disease and hunger

22-month-old Mishu from the Democratic Republic of Congo is being treated for severe malnutrition. Ten months ago, he fell ill with malaria and typhoid and has never really regained his health. Millions of children die each year from preventable causes. It’s a lottery of dirty water, infections they weren’t immunised against, malnutrition and illnesses that can be treated with the right healthcare.

Children like Denzel - living in extreme poverty

Denzel, 13 and his 16-year-old brother Tinotenda were left to fend for themselves when their parents crossed the border from Zimbabwe in search of employment. They grow their own vegetables for food but rely on World Vision for food assistance and for Denzel’s education. We work with communities to ensure that their lives are transformed for the long term, so progress is sustained after we leave.
