World Vision Philippines

Our Beginnings:

World Vision was founded by American Dr. Bob Pierce in 1950 following his life-changing trips to China and Korea. Dr. Pierce was awfully moved by the impact of the war on children. He set up orphanages to care for those who were abandoned or whose parents had died. By the 1960s this work had expanded to meet the needs of refugees in Indochina and the survivors of disasters in Bangladesh and Africa. Eventually, Child Sponsorship was started to provide long-term funding assistance to help poor children worldwide. Over the decades World Vision’s approach has shifted from welfare provision to collaboration, partnering with communities and individuals to seek solutions to tackle poverty. Our Philosophy:

As a non-denominational Christian organization, World Vision aims to share and demonstrate the love and compassion that Jesus Christ extended to all people, especially to children, particularly to those living in poverty or suffering from oppression and injustice. Our Vision:

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

We are an international partnership of Christians whose mission is to follow our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in working with the poor and oppressed to promote human transformation, seek justice and bear witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God. Core Values:

We are Christian | We are committed to the poor | We value people
We are stewards | We are partners | We are responsive


We want children to:
Enjoy good health | Be educated for life
Be cared for, protected and participating | Experience the love of God and neighbors
