 history of world vision

"Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God." - Bob Pierce, World Vision Founder

World Vision was founded in 1950 by the Reverend Dr Bob Pierce in response to the needs of Korean War orphans.

Dr Pierce was an American evangelist and war correspondent, who traveled to China with Youth for Christ in 1947.

On that trip, Bob's heart was broken when he was confronted by the need of one little girl. He pledged a monthly amount to a local missionary to ensure her care, and thus planted the seeds of World Vision's future Child Sponsorship model.

To provide long-term, ongoing care for children in need, World Vision developed its first Child Sponsorship program in Korea in 1953. As children began to flourish through sponsorship in Korea, the program expanded into other Asian countries, and eventually into Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Through the decades, World Vision has become a leader in the field of its child-focused humanitarian, community development and advocacy work. Approximately 40,000 full and part-time staff members worldwide implement programs of emergency relief, education, healthcare, economic development and the promotion of justice in almost 100 countries.

World Vision is a living tribute to Pierce's work.

WORLD VISION NEW ZEALAND ANNUAL REPORT 2012

World Vision New Zealand is pleased to present the 2012 Annual Report. Every year we strive to remain transparent, accountable, and productive. The Annual Report is an important part of this goal as it allows us to share our recent successes as well as review our financial expenditure and strategic goals.  This year, in an effort to cut down on administration costs and help the environment, WVNZ has opted for a leaner and more concise Annual Report with the bulk of the content online.

Thanks for your continued support,

The World Vision team
