_{*2022 financial year}

We are part of the global World Vision Partnership that has nearly 35,000 staff in 100 countries. For over 70 years, World Vision has worked alongside communities, donors, partners and governments to create opportunities for children and their families to change their futures.

Alongside our generous donors and supporters, we are proud to partner with the Australian Government through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. This allows us to deliver impact across all aspects of community development, often in fragile contexts, and to reach the most vulnerable people across Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
