Our core sectors cannot be achieved in isolation, addressing issues of poverty requires a multi-faceted approach. We work in a cross-section of areas to ensure communities benefit from change, in the long term. We combine; child protection, economic development, education and health and nutrition for lasting impact
At the core of what we do, we aim to implement measures to ensure children grow up in child safe families and communities. To do this we focus on prevention through positive community attitudes and behaviours and provide support for victims of abuse through community-based restorative care.
We’re working to increase teaching quality and student’s overall success in learning. We do this by addressing issues related to parental engagement to their child’s education, access to learning resources and appropriate school facilities and teacher training
We do this by providing families with access to seasonal crops all year around, training health workers to detect and treat malnutrition and educating caregivers and communities on how nutritious foods and hygienic health practices and immunisations will protect children against infection and disease
We use a holistic approach to development ensuring we tackle root causes to lift children, their families and community out of poverty. We do this in partnership with local stakeholders in order for children to live life in all its fullnes
To achieve ultimate child wellbeing we need to work within the context of that child’s life, because we know child well-being is tied to living in a safe household, healthy environment and supportive community. So we approach development holistically.
We work with communities to establish priorities and the time it will take to achieve their goals. Addressing the root causes of poverty involves building trusting relationships, breaking mindsets, changing attitudes, and providing tools, skills, and training – all of which requires a great investment of time.
Once we engage with a community we are committing to long-term programs which aim to build capacity in the community so there is little reliance on World Vision. Programs can last between 5-15 years depending on the community. Before we work with a community, we sit and listen to them to determine how to best approach the issues

Young people face many challenges which prevent them from reaching their potential. We provide opportunities to equip and empower youth to create a positive future for themselves and the people around them. We ensure young people are included in decision making at a local level and train them in life skills to prepare them for the future. We believe youth are valuable agents of social change and work to support them
