World Vision Australia is part of an international partnership
with offices in many countries. They are dedicated to improving
the lives of children, families and communities living in poverty.
As well as providing relief in emergency situations, they work
on long-term development projects that address the causes of poverty
and help communities move to a level of self-sufficiency. Resources
are supplied by the Australian Government, individuals, corporations,
charitable foundations and churches. Over 70 cents in every dollar
raised goes to overseas projects in 56 countries. The rest stays
in Australia, contributing to public education, improving the
lives of Indigenous Australians, administration and fund-raising
costs.
World Vision is committed to the poor because we are Christian.
We work with people of all cultures, faiths and genders to achieve
transformation. We enact this through:
- Relief and development - implementing best practice
programs overseas and in Australia to save lives and build sustainable
communities.
- Policy change - advocating to change government and
institutional policies in Australia and internationally to benefit
people in need.
- Synergy and effectiveness - striving to be a collaborative,
efficient and effective organisation that we are proud of and
others speak highly of.
- Engaging Australia - continuing to educate Australians
about the causes of poverty and encouraging involvement in alleviating
poverty and its causes.
- Christian engagement - increasing our stakeholders’
understanding of the Christian message of personal growth, social
justice and the development of our spiritual lives in relevant
ways.
