Preamble
World Vision South Sudan is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian humanitarian aid and development organization that is dedicated to helping children and their communities reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty.
Who we serve:
We serve poor children, families, and communities. Through means such as emergency relief, education, health care, economic development and promotion of justice, approximately 40,000 World Vision staff members assist impoverished communities help themselves. Our work touches approximately 100 million people in nearly 100 countries, assisting people regardless of religion, ethnic background, or gender.
Why we serve:
Motivated by our faith in Jesus, we serve the poor unconditionally, recognizing their individual dignity and honoring their God-given potential.
Some ways in which we serve:
Community Development—each community’s needs are different. We provide the resources that enable people to discover and use their own ideas and skills to move from poverty to self-sufficiency. Communities develop such things as access to clean water, reliable food production, basic health services, educational opportunities, microfinance programs to generate income, and AIDS prevention and care.
Emergency Response—We respond to natural disasters and long-term humanitarian emergencies. We track potential crises, pre-position emergency supplies for effective rapid response, and remain after the crisis to help people rebuild their communities.
Protecting Children—We believe in every child’s individual worth. We advocate for their well-being: for a world where orphans are cared for; where children are no longer forced to be soldiers, prostitutes, or laborers; and where they are safe and free from oppression.
