Childhood Rescue
In the world’s most dangerous places, life can change in an instant.
Survive, recover & build a future.
Millions of children live amongst conflict, disaster, political unrest & ongoing instability. In these dangerous places, children are extremely vulnerable to violence, poverty, abuse and exploitation.
World Vision can’t end wars, stop political unrest or eliminate corruption.
But through Childhood Rescue, we ensure that these children don’t miss out by responding to urgent and arising needs with life-saving interventions, crisis recovery programs, and peacebuilding initiatives.
