Emergencies
Before, during and after emergencies, we are there.
When humanitarian disasters and conflicts strike it’s children who suffer the most. Trauma, violence, hunger, and the loss of homes, schooling and a sense of safety all deeply hurt girls and boys. Children’s lives are completely disrupted. Often, they are forced to flee for their lives.
This is why World Vision works to restore hope by providing children and their communities with food, clean water, mental health support, and education, disease prevention and child protection activities.
World Vision is a global expert, having responded to hundreds of emergencies around the world since the 1950s. We reach tens of millions of children and their loved ones every year.
We stand with communities right from disaster through to recovery and building back. We do it by working with local people, partners, governments and the UN, with funding from a whole range of international and private donors.
