Introduction

World Vision is the world’s largest international children’s charity. Every day we bring real hope to millions of children in the world’s hardest places as a sign of God’s unconditional love.

World Vision NETHERLANDS (WVN) is part of the World Vision Partnership of almost 100 countries worldwide. By working together with people of all faiths and none – children, their communities, and supporters and partners – we believe that the lives of the world’s most vulnerable children can be transformed.

We are known for the excellence of our work. We have more than 70 years’ experience, are often the first on the scene after a humanitarian disaster and benefit from long term relationships in the communities we serve. We have been investing significantly in impact and evaluation, allowing us to be leaders in the sector for measuring the difference our work makes.

At World Vision, we are on a new journey. As a member of a global partnership, we are guided by our shared strategy: Our Promise. The face of poverty is changing. We rejoice in millions of children moving out of absolute poverty and towards lives free of need and full of promise, seeing the real possibility

of bringing extreme poverty to an end by 2030. But this will only happen if this progress reaches the children still struggling in the toughest places in the world.

Our strategy is a promise to vulnerable children – to relentlessly pursue our vision, for every child, life in all its fullness; our prayer for every heart, the will to make it so, until they:

Enjoy good health and are protected from disease

Are educated for life and enabled to fulfil their potential

Are cared for, protected and participating

Experience the profound security of the love of God and others
