In 1950, Dr. Bob Pierce's heart was broken by the suffering he witnessed during a trip to Korea. Moved by compassion, he gave his last five dollars to help a single child - White Jade - and promised to send more support when he returned home. This simple act of faith sparked a movement that would transform millions of lives. From that humble beginning, World Vision has grown into a global Christian humanitarian organization working in nearly 100 countries, driven by the belief that every child deserves life in all its fullness. Over the past 75 years, we've evolved from sponsoring individual children to building entire communities' capacity to overcome poverty, combining practical development tools with the transformative power of faith.

Today, World Vision's 33,000+ staff members - 98% of whom are locally hired - serve alongside the world's most vulnerable people, responding to emergencies while addressing the root causes of poverty. We've been there during history's darkest moments: providing aid during the Ethiopian famine, caring for Vietnamese refugees through Operation Seasweep, challenging the church to address the AIDS crisis, and rebuilding communities after the Asian tsunami. Our approach has always been dangerously soft-hearted - going where others won't, staying until communities can stand on their own, and believing that no situation is hopeless because our hope is anchored in something bigger than ourselves. From one child with five dollars to millions experiencing fullness of life, World Vision continues the work Bob Pierce started - proving that faith in action can change the world.
