World Vision is one of the largest Christian-based relief and development non-governmental organizations in the world. As a child-focused organization, we are working at the grassroots in approximately 100 countries all around the world.

We build our work on the pillars of transformational development, humanitarian emergency affairs and advocacy, and we serve all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.

Because poverty has both local and global causes, we work within communities and across geographical areas to help individuals and groups improve the well-being of children and overcome poverty.

As children are most vulnerable, we work with and through families and communities to promote child protection, child participation, child welfare and growth.

World Vision pushes the boundaries of development work by fighting the causes as well as the symptoms of suffering through measurable goals and outcomes.

World Vision’s South Africa National Office began its operations in 1967 through childcare projects with local churches.

Today we help over one million people through the South African driven projects. We have 53 401 children registered within our 17 programmes, and five of our Area Development Programmes (ADPs) are partially funded locally.
