Why
World
Vision?
World
Vision has long experience in
Asia
The
organization has worked in the
region for more that 40 years,
responding to emergencies as well
as conducting long-term,
sustainable programs that lift
families out of poverty. World
Vision works in 10 countries
affected by the
tsunami.
World
Vision is effective on the
ground
More
the 3,700 World Vision staff --
many of them nationals -- live
and work in the Asian countries
devastated by the tsunami. They
were assisting victims within
hours of the disaster. These
workers speak the local language
and understand customs. Their
relationships with leaders and
communities are bases on mutual
trust.
World
Vision is accountable
World
Vision carefully monitors and
reviews programs and costs, uses
donations and grants for their
intended purposes, and looks for
ways to leverage funds. World
Vision strives to keep its
overhead rate low. Last year, 87
% of the total revenue directly
benefited children and families
in need.
World
Vision is motivated by
faith
Motivated
by faith in Jesus Christ, World
Vision workers serve the poor as
a demonstration of God's
unconditional love for all
people
World
Vision does not
discriminate
World
Vision serves the world's poor
regardless of a person's
religion, race, ethnicity, or
gender. Staff understand and
respect the cultures in which
they work.
