How donations are spent

Lives transformed forever. Here's exactly how.

Transforming children's lives

Together, in 2019 World Vision has helped 2 million children in 42 countries.

It’s all thanks to incredible supporters across the country who believe every child deserves a chance.

For every euro spent by World Vision Ireland, 82c went towards our work to care for and protect vulnerable children around the world and 18c was spent on raising another euro.

Who are you helping?

When Angola faced its worst drought in 38 years, Beto, age one, became malnourished. Thanks to supporters, he was given the care he needed to fully recover.

We help the most vulnerable children in the world - and you can read all about how we transform lives of children and their families.

For Beto and his Mum, World Vision's actions were life-saving. When Angola faced its worst drought in 38 years, they barely ate and Beto became sick and malnourished.

World Vision provided food and training for the community so they can provide for themselves. Now, Beto smiles.

How can you help?

There’s still so much we need to do.

There are millions of children struggling to survive, who risk losing their childhoods, their families, and their hope.

We work with communities to help them bring about change in the longer term, as well as providing emergency relief when disasters strike.

We provide immediate support, and we stay, helping to rebuild lives for children, families and communities.

This simply wouldn’t be possible without thousands of people like you.
