About World Vision

Building brighter futures together

World Vision is a global Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. Our staff work in nearly 100 countries around the world.

World Vision New Zealand is part of the World Vision International partnership, and together we have impacted the lives of over 200 million vulnerable children by tackling the root causes of poverty.

With decades of experience, we employ proven, effective development and relief practices to empower communities to become self-sufficient and bring real, lasting change. We are privileged to see lives and communities transformed.

Everything we do is focused on one goal: the sustained well-being of children, especially the most vulnerable. We are committed to serving all children regardless of gender, religion, or ethnicity. 

It’s your generosity that enables us to bring positive change to the lives of the world’s most vulnerable children.



We pursue the highest standards of stewardship and accountability.

We ensure all resources entrusted to us are used effectively to bring maximum impact. In 2021, 84.6% of World Vision New Zealand's total operating expenses were used for international program support that benefited children, families and communities in need. Learn more about our impact.
