Celebrate 57 years of service to South Africa’s children

Tens of thousands of children have benefited from better nutrition, education, health, water and sanitation, child protection and community development in nearly six decades of World Vision’s work in South Africa.

As this phase of our work comes to an end, we celebrate two generations of hard-working staff who have made all this possible. Along with them, we thank God for sponsors and donors, corporate and private partners, local community leaders and government officials who made the work possible.

Above all, we give thanks for the children whose lives were touched, many of whom are now adults and, we trust, continuing to pass on the grace which was given to them.

World Vision implements programs supporting vulnerable children in 27 countries across the African continent.  And while programs have concluded in South Africa we are ready to launch short-term emergency responses if needed. We continue to pray that God will bless the children of South Africa.
