By 2030, most of the world’s extreme poor will be children living in the world’s most dangerous places.

Children are the most at risk when crises strike suddenly or stretch on for years. The harmful effects can disrupt their education, split up their families, and force them into makeshift shelters. During natural disasters and what we call fragile contexts, the places of safety and comfort for children—homes, schools, and communities—are often damaged or destroyed. And the need is growing. One in every 70 people in the world has been forcibly displaced. In 2025, 117.3 million people had been forced to flee their homes globally. Your action today delivers protection and hope when it matters most. World Vision’s experience in child protection, healthcare, water, sanitation, and hygiene means your gift reaches children quickly and effectively in the world’s toughest places. This means that when emergencies strike, we can respond within days through hundreds of emergency response teams and warehouses ready with life-saving resources. And when instability continues over months or years, we respond through our Survive, Adapt, and Thrive approach:

• Survive – Right after a disaster or violent situation, we focus on saving lives. This includes providing things like food, water, shelter, and ensuring the safety of children.
• Adapt – As communities regain stability, we provide support through rebuilding livelihoods, reestablishing education, and ensuring primary healthcare services are strong and durable.
• Thrive – Once the local situation becomes more secure, we assist in longer-term development through transformational activities that address the root causes of fragility, poverty, insecurity, and broken government systems.

We invite you to join us in this life-saving work. Your gift today will be multiplied 7X thanks to our partnership with the World Food Programme.
