About World Vision New Zealand
World Vision New Zealand is a registered charity powered by thousands of generous Kiwis like you. We're a community of change-makers helping the most vulnerable children, in the most difficult places, to overcome poverty and injustice and build brighter futures for themselves.
As a Christian charity, we show unconditional love to our global neighbours in need – of any faith or none.
Since 1975, more than 3 million Kiwis have stood together and shown the world what our small nation is capable of through the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge. It has become one of our nation’s largest and most life-changing forces for good.
We work with communities across the globe
Africa
We work with communities in Africa to tackle the root cause of poverty. By establishing access to safe water, improving healthcare and education opportunities.
Middle East
We work in the middle East to support children affected by conflict. Protecting children from violence, supporting their recovery, and improving their access to education.
Asia
We partner with communities in Asia to ensure they have what they need to thrive. By improving family, livelihoods, and increasing access to education and healthcare.
Pacific
We work in the Pacific to support growth and development. We are building resilience to climate change, natural disasters and developing economic opportunities.
See the difference you made with your World Vision 40 Hour Challenge last year!
You've equipped 882 farmers to unlock underground forests and regrow trees fast. Thanks to you and your fundraising efforts, more farming families will be able to regenerate their land, grow more food and tackle climate change too.
So far, you’ve helped train 199 young people to restore forests and keep them healthy for years to come. Thank you for helping youth take the lead in activities that transform degraded land into thriving forest.
You've helped establish eco-villages in Bangladesh, 2,777 and counting! From composting to green havens for fruit and veg, eco-ovens and more, you’re helping whole villages to become cleaner and greener.
Pasquela’s family are rebuilding their lives
With your help, Pasquela’s family are learning climate-smart farming and have received new seedlings to help them get started.
Farmers in Pasquela’s community are also learning how to unlock underground forests and regrow trees fast. Revived forests can improve soil so farmers can grow more crops, protect water sources during droughts, and prevent landslides during floods.
You’re also helping her community to plan for and respond to extreme weather events. This is your impact. Thank you!
“Never in history has it been more possible to help make real change in people’s lives and futures than it is right now.
