Why give a gift in your Will

Including a gift in your Will for World Vision is an empowering way of creating long-lasting change for the most vulnerable children of the future. Thanks to generous gifts from our sponsors, we’ve been able to make a difference in the lives of children and families by providing access to the most basic necessities in life, such as food, water, education, healthcare and safety – the fundamentals to living a life in all its fullness.

When you include a gift in your Will for World Vision, you can create a life-changing legacy which can help transform the world for generations to come. Your gift can be used to support World Vision’s programs both overseas and in Indigenous Australian communities, directed towards the children and communities who need our help the most. See how easy it is to include a gift in your Will here. 

Why World Vision Australia?

At World Vision, we’re dedicated to helping vulnerable children thrive. We work with communities to help empower them to achieve their development goals and lift themselves out of poverty. Your gift will be used to support our work with our partners on long-term, although finite projects, focusing on equipping communities with the tools to lead their own development. We work closely with local leaders and community groups and organisations to ensure they have the strength to thrive long after we leave.



“I would encourage anyone who can to leave a bequest to World Vision … there is so much need, the more of us who help out, the better.” – Gordon Lambert, Gift in Will supporter

“I am pleased to see my money going towards things like life skills, wells for clean water and loans for farming equipment. It made great sense.” – Dianne Roennfeldt, Gift in Will supporter

“It feels really good to be a part of this and to know that I’m creating a legacy of goodwill for future generations of children.” – Andrew Stephenson, Gift in Will supporter

“Charities need as much help as they can get to carry on their work. Even people on a budget like me can do it.” – Tonya Hooper, Gift in Will supporter

Using your gift effectively


Together we’ve impacted the lives of over 200 million children by tackling the root causes of poverty

Over the last five years, 89 percent of severely malnourished children we treated made a full recovery

Because of our community-focused solutions, for every child you help, four more children benefit, too


Where will your gift go

A gift in your Will to World Vision Australia can contribute to a range of work that helps disadvantaged children and families around the world.
