"As we close our fiscal year, I couldn't help but look at the things that we have done to fulfill our promise of giving fullness of life to every child. I recognize with gratitude that despite the many challenges that the organization faced, God's hand of provision was so evident. Truly god blesses individuals who honor Him. these individuals include sponsors, donors, ministry partners and World Vision staff who have given so much for the children, families and communities in need to honor our Father in heaven."

World Vision joins with communities, churches, governments, and other aid agencies to deliver services effectively and efficiently.

Communities - World Vision’s primary partners are the poor themselves. Poor communities take responsibility for directing the work supported by World Vision.

Globally, World Vision helps transform the lives of the world’s poorest children and families in nearly 100 countries. In 2007, its work extended to more than 100 million people and 3.4 million children benefitted from sponsorship and nearly a million orphans and vulnerable children received care and support. World Vision is considered the largest child sponsorship agency globally.

In the Philippines, World Vision currently helps improve the lives of more than 120,000 children and 16 million Filipinos in 33 provinces and 44 cities nationwide.

Motivated by our Christian faith, World Vision is dedicated to working with the world’s most vulnerable people. World Vision follows Christ’s example to love one another, especially children and the poor. By addressing the root causes of poverty, we seek “life in all its fullness” for all people.

World Vision serves people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender. World Vision joins local communities in the Philippines to find lasting ways to improve the lives of poor children and families. We are respectful of other faiths and beliefs. There are no conditions attached to our assistance other than human need. We also seek to serve our donors and our staff by providing opportunities to make positive and lasting differences in the lives of people struggling with the effects of poverty.

Our vision for every child, life in all its fullness;
Our prayer for every heart, the will to make it so
