World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organisation dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome extreme poverty and injustice.

Motivated by our faith in Jesus Christ, we serve alongside the poor and oppressed as a demonstration of God's unconditional love for all people. World Vision serves all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.

World Vision New Zealand currently supports more than 70 projects in more than 25 countries.

World Vision works in three different areas: emergency relief, community development and advocacy. World Vision helps transform the lives of children and families in need around the world, regardless of religion, gender, race, or ethnic background.

It gives an opportunity to every New Zealand household to be involved in a child-focused work that touches millions of people each year in its quest to end poverty, fight hunger and transform lives.

History: In 1950 Dr Bob Pierce, an American serviceman during the Korean War, founded World Vision to provide emergency care for war orphans in Korea.
