Ordinary People Coming Together for Extraordinary Impact

 

Behind all the work that World Vision has been part of for the past 70 years, ordinary people – hidden heroes- have risen to meet the most relevant challenges of every era. 

 

Decades of experience responding to the most critical issues

  • For 70 years, World Vision has brought heroes together during some of the world’s darkest times to create brighter futures for vulnerable children.

Hidden heroes taking action to fight COVID-19

  • When global disease outbreaks such as COVID-19, Ebola, Zika and H1N1 occur, we are on the ground, quickly providing support for vulnerable children and their communities.

Coming together for global impact

  • We are currently responding to COVID-19 in 17 focus countries, aiming to reach 22.5 million people over the next six months.

We want to hear your stories! Nominate your hidden hero using #HiddenHero.
