Our Distinctives
Focus on Children: World Vision seeks a life filled with dignity, justice, peace and hope for every girl and boy, giving them the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. All development work we carry out is focused on building the community around the children so that they have the opportunity to reach for a better future and thus build up a better nation. Child protection, child participation and child development are characteristic of all World Vision initiatives.
Grass root Based: World Vision's relief and development is community based. Our teams are accessible to communities at the grass roots, living with them, learning from them, and working along with them in their journey towards recovery and transformational development. Relief efforts seek to restore and improve life to a status better than pre-disaster conditions. Transformational development seeks to enhance community capacity and mechanisms to address the root causes of poverty, both micro and macro, within an area, over a specific period of time.
Partnering for Change: World Vision India partners with the poor in their development, working with the government and civil society to usher in a better and brighter future for India. Our key partners include individual sponsors who contribute through child sponsorship towards community development while building a relationship with a child, and corporates who have the will to make a difference in the lives of children. In India, World Vision is a member of several NGO networks and Government forums, which address social and economic issues at various levels. World Vision India is also a member of the international partnership of World Vision, which works in almost 100 countries. World Vision International has consultative status with UN - ECOSOC (Economic and Social Council) as well as official relations with key UN agencies including UNICEF, WHO, UNHCR and ILO.
