World Vision Canada
About
World Vision Canada is the largest international relief, development and advocacy organization in Canada. For 70 years we have worked to bring real and lasting changes to the lives of the world’s most vulnerable children and their communities.
As part of a global World Vision Partnership, we work in more than 100 countries to address the root causes of poverty and injustice. By creating opportunities for children and their families, we help empower them to rise out of poverty and build brighter futures. With the support of our donors, we have impacted the lives of over 200 million vulnerable children by promoting holistic change.
A legacy gift to World Vision Canada is one of the most meaningful ways to continue helping children beyond your lifetime, offering safety, opportunity, and hope to future generations.
World Vision Canada provides:
- Development that is community-based, sustainable and focused especially on the needs of children. This includes ensuring families have access to clean water, nutritious food, education, healthcare, child protection, and economic opportunities.
- Emergency relief that assists people affected by conflict or disaster. When these situations happen, we are on the ground quickly to provide immediate support – and we stay, helping people rebuild their lives and communities.
- Advocacy that seeks to change unjust structures that affect the poor by equipping communities with information while advocating for systemic change. Including promoting gender equality, fostering enabling environments and elevating the social value of women and girls.
Our Impact
Our impact goals are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to “achieve a better and more sustainable future for all” by 2030.
We focus on reaching people in the world’s most dangerous places plagued by volatility, violence, and political turmoil. We provide immediate and emergency support to enable women, men, girls, and boys to survive. We then help communities rebuild and recover, grow stronger, pivot, and adapt. Finally, we increase the resilience of children and their communities for the long term, so that they can thrive.
Thanks to the support and generosity of donors who named World Vision Canada in their Will, for every 60 seconds:
- A family gets water.
- A hungry child is fed.
- A family receives the tools to overcome poverty.
