With more than 70 years of experience and a strong faith in Christ, World Vision is a unique global relief programme that specializes in working with children and communities to help overcome poverty and injustice. As a Partnership of national offices governed by their own boards, World Vision is united under one mission statement and shared core values. Our leaders around the world are inspired by our founder, Bob Pierce, who prayed for his heart to be broken by that which breaks the heart of God. Bob had the vision to bring this organisation to the world's most vulnerable people, and set an example to all who followed him.
