Inspired by our Christian values, we are dedicated to working with the world's most vulnerable people.We serve all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.World Vision began the 21st century by strengthening its advocacy efforts, particularly on issues related to child survival and poverty alleviation. It became more active in working with governments, businesses and other organisations in addressing issues such as child labour, children in armed conflict and the sexual exploitation of women and children.World Vision, together with microfinance subsidiary VisionFund International, has become a leading humanitarian organisation. Some 40,000 staff members (including part time and temporary staff and employees of microfinance institutions) implement programmes of community development, emergency relief and promotion of justice in nearly 100 countries.
