World Vision Ireland is part of World Vision, the largest international child-focused humanitarian and development NGO in the world. Our 34,000+ staff members worldwide, work in nearly 100 countries, where we have impacted the lives of over 200 million vulnerable children. Through World Vision, every 60 seconds a family gets water; a hungry child is fed; a family receives the tools to overcome poverty.

We are dedicated to supporting children living in some of the world's most challenging and fragile contexts. We work with children to reach their full potential by tackling the root causes of poverty and injustice, and by collaborating with families and communities to build resilience, bring about sustainable transformation and create positive shifts in mindset.

World Vision Ireland's primary objective is to support field operations in both our core long-term development programmes, and in humanitarian & emergency relief.

We achieve this by raising public, institutional, and Governmental funds; by informing and engaging the Irish public about the humanitarian issues our teams witness first-hand in the field; and by influencing Irish Governmental policy in the areas of long-term development and emergency relief.

World Vision Ireland works with people of all faiths and none.
