World Vision is an international Christian relief and development organisation established by Dr Bob Pierce, an American journalist, in 1950 with a vision to respond to the needs of the poor. It ministers to children and families, provides emergency aid, fosters self-reliance, enhances leadership and increases public awareness of poverty around the world. At present, World Vision serves about 100 million people in different projects across about 100 countries.
World Vision extends assistance to all people, regardless of their religious beliefs, gender, race or ethnic background. Being or becoming a Christian is never a prerequisite for receiving help.
