We desire to see each Canadian child experience peace and well-being, yet we know that there are many hindrances that stifle their potential to see this dream realized. We also know that we are at our best when we work with community partners who are committed to seeing poverty overcome, and desire to learn, grow, and be mutually transformed. 

Our mission, therefore, is to develop national strategies with community-based organizations to advance the peace and well being of children, their families, and the communities in which they live.

Here are 5 ways that World Vision seeks to live out its mandate:

1. We equip the leadership teams of community-based organizations to grow their capacity in programming, financial and human resources, and the strategies required to fulfill the organization’s distinct purpose in the community.

2. We build sustainable strategies and network with neighbourhoods, community-based organizations and churches to end child poverty in Canada.

3. We fund innovative approaches that cultivate resiliency in children, youth, families and the communities in which they live.

4. We research the root causes and present dynamics of Canadian child poverty to identify strategic responses.

5. We advocate for the peace and well being of children living in poverty.
