World Vision India is one of the country’s largest child-focused humanitarian organisations. With over seven decades of grassroots experience, we use proven and effective development, public engagement and relief practices to empower vulnerable children and communities living in poverty and injustice, helping them become self-sufficient and bring lasting change.
We serve all children regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender, as a demonstration of Christ’s unconditional love for all people.
World Vision India works to ensure the long-term well-being of children living in poverty by improving their access to healthcare, education, protection and opportunities to participate in society. To make our efforts sustainable, we support not only individual children but also their families and communities. Recognising the importance of socio-economic empowerment, our community-based approach includes a wide range of programmes in economic development, education, health and leadership development.
We work closely with community-based organisations, government bodies, NGOs and civil society groups to provide holistic support. We also partner with local, state and central governments, as well as academic institutions and other NGOs, to strengthen policies, structures and systems.
Additionally, we respond to natural disasters. For example, we provided critical support to children and families affected by Cyclone Michaung. Our involvement in disaster response dates to the 1977 cyclone in Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
