Children’s lives are changed forever when conflict erupts. But you can help.
For years now, every single day, from Venezuela to Ukraine to Sudan to Syria and a lot more, millions of people are being uprooted from their homes and countries, for either arm conflict reasons, socio-economic instability or natural disasters escaping by land, sea, or air.
In 2023, the future of refugees is still not promising.
The rising numbers of armed conflicts and natural disasters around the world are also rising the number of refugees and internally displaced people, leading to a ripple effect on them.
Men, women and especially children are becoming vulnerable refugees or internally displaced in search of safety and the ability to meet their basic needs, changing their reality forever.
They are struggling like never before due to the rising prices, ongoing conflicts and shrinking levels of life-saving assistance due to a severely underfunded response.
Through the provision of food, health and nutrition assistance, WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) support, safe spaces for children to learn and play, vocational training and livelihood programmes and cash, voucher transfers and social protection, World Vision is providing a window of hope for refugees.
Our staff on the ground works to meet the needs of refugee children as well as the host communities, which are often necessarily connected.
Together with grassroots organizations and local governments, we work to ensure children and their families have access to the resources they need to thrive including, clean water, adequate shelter, safe spaces, nutritious food and educational opportunities among other things.
Donations provide children with safe spaces to learn, play and receive emotional support.
Donations can provide refugee children with emergency food, clean water, healthcare, sanitation and hygiene products.
Donations can go towards cash, voucher transfers and social protection for refugee children and their families when they need it the most.

When emergencies hit, children are often the most at risk. That’s why we need to be there – in places torn apart by disasters and conflict.
Your donations help us act fast when refugees' lives change in an instant.
During 2022, we helped over 29.6 million people in emergencies across 52 countries - that’s over 81,000 people each day.
We’re one of the first organisations on the ground when an emergency strikes. Within 72 hours of a disaster, we can deliver lifesaving supplies anywhere in the world – often even sooner.
In the wake of a disaster, we stay to help rebuild the lives of children, families, and communities. We also help to build resilience so that if another disaster strikes, they are better able to cope.
All the resources entrusted to us are effectively and efficiently invested in the lives and futures of children. We’re always working to keep our overhead low.
In 2022, we used 89% of our total operating expenses for programmes that benefit children, families, and communities in need, 3% was used for fundraising efforts and 8% for administration expenses.
