Let's tackle the hard issues

So many complex global issues confront us today – inequality, famine, child exploitation and climate change to name just a few. Did you know you have the power to be part of the solution?  

For more than 50 years, World Vision Australia has teamed up with people like you who believe in creating a better, fairer and more just world. Together, we speak up and take action to make it happen. We get to the heart of the issues faced by vulnerable children and families. And experience shows it changes lives.

Partnering with us means you empower children, families and communities

Family Incomes

Empowering women and families to upskill means they can build sustainable incomes and become self-sufficient.

Education

Providing vulnerable children with a good education means they’re set up for success and can enjoy safe and fulfilling lives.

Health

Strengthening poor health systems means communities combat COVID-19, boost nutrition and prevent disease.

Climate Change

Helping farmers adapt to climate change means they regreen their land, tackle hunger and become more resilient.

First Nations People

Partnering with First Nations communities in Australia means they can achieve their goals through programs that drive positive change.

Clean Water

Tackling the root causes of poverty means children are healthier and can access life’s basics like clean water.

How the work happens

When you team up with us, you help make change that lasts for generations and feels incredible to be part of. 
 
This change happens through development, relief and advocacy work around the world. Our global partnerships mean you’re supporting impact at scale and reaching those most in need. In all we do, we're committed to upholding the highest standards of best practice and accountability. 
We transform communities

Help transform communities

When you sponsor a child or make a donation, you'll be part of work that tackles poverty's causes and supports long-term solutions. Firstly, we listen and help communities identify their unique needs, strengths and plans. Then we provide support and expert guidance as they lead grassroots projects and achieve their development goals.  
 
Over time, children and families gain access to life’s basics like water, education, healthcare and nutritious food. Communities upskill, become self-sustaining and confidently continue the work we started together. Thanks to your support, the future looks brighter! 
Use your voice

Use your voice for justice

Together, let's challenge practices and attitudes that threaten human rights and lie at the heart of inequality. This includes working with governments to shape fairer policies in Australia and around the world. Your voice counts as we campaign on the hard issues and call for change. 
 
Through community-based projects, children and families also learn about their rights and gain a genuine say in the decisions that affect them. Children are protected and empowered to become the next generation of leaders. How will you use your voice for change?
Help saves lives in emergencies

Help saves lives in emergencies

As emergencies happen around the world, they devastate communities. It may be a sudden natural event like an earthquake, or a prolonged disaster such as famine. Whatever the crisis, your help means suffering families can weather the worst and emerge stronger.  
 
Often the first priority is delivering life-saving aid such as water, food and shelter. As time goes on, the focus shifts to recovery and rebuilding. Preparation also saves lives. So, at-risk communities are supported to become more resilient and disaster-ready. Find out who needs your help.
