Here are some results seen in graduating communities:. When no one else would, we did. Read the full story. During a devastating civil war, Ethiopia was hit with a famine and a hunger crisis which defined a decade and made for one of the worst humanitarian events of the 20th century.
The United Nations estimated nearly 1 million famine deaths, along with millions displaced from their homes. World Vision emergency relief workers were among the first on the ground to assist the starving children and families, providing help where it was most critically needed. During the early s as Romania's communist party fell and President Nicolae Ceausescu was overthrown, the world was shocked by images of abandoned children tethered to beds and confined in cages.
Tens of thousands of innocent Romanian children were placed in orphanages due to extremely difficult financial hardships and poverty. World Vision was one of the first to give aid to the institutionalised children, and continues to be one of the few international organisations to still have a presence in Romania.
The majority of survivors were children who lost one or both of their parents. World Vision arrived in to provide emergency aid and assist the survivors in resettling. We have a World Vision for children - where every child grows up healthy and strong, is cared for and protected and has opportunities to flourish. We have a World Vision for change - both on a global scale and in the lives of individuals through powerful one-to-one connections.
We have a World Vision for life — where we care for each other in a world full of promise and free of poverty. Our Christian faith teaches us that every child, regardless of gender, faith or race, is a precious gift to the entire world - and that their wellbeing concerns us all.
While remarkably successful as a fundraising strategy, child sponsorship has continued to face criticism as exploitative to children and overly simplistic in communicating the nature of community development to sponsors. Other critics have accused agencies of photographing and enrolling children without permission from their families. But, this change makes sense to me. At least symbolically, World Vision is making the point that children living in poverty are not a problem to fix but rather a relationship to be developed with both donors and the kids themselves gaining something in the process.
