ABOUT WORLD VISION INDIA
  
World Vision is a humanitarian organisation working to create lasting change in the lives of children, families and communities living in poverty and injustice. Spread across 174 districts in India, World Vision works through long-term sustainable community development programmes and immediate disaster relief assistance. World Vision focuses on these priority areas towards building a nation fit for children:
•    Well-being of every boy and girl
•    Sustainable livelihood security
•    Access to water
•    Peace building and reconciliation
•    Prevent and mitigate HIV and AIDS & TB

PROBLEM

Children constitute over one-third of India’s population of 1.21 billion people, i.e. every sixth child in the world lives in India. Of these 400 million children do not have access to clean drinking water, homes, and a proper education. India has 10.12 million child labourers aged between 5 to 14 years (National Census 2011).

SOLUTION

World Vision with its various advocacy, child sponsorship and relief programs has changed many lives in India. Its child sponsorship program creates a network of partners, who in the long-term help build a self-reliant and sustainable community that brings out the best in every child. World Vision has also initiated programmes that strategically address HIV prevention among children between 10 to 18 years, care and support for orphans and vulnerable children and women who are made destitute by HIV and AIDS, as well as prevention programs among vulnerable groups such as injecting drug users and sex workers.SOLUTION

IMPACT 

World Vision is on the ground responding to the massive floods in Chennai. 
As part of emergency relief response, we distributed 12000 food packets, over 22000 water bottles as well as biscuit packets . Dry ration was also provided to 50 families. 
As the city of Chennai recuperated, hygiene and sanitation is becoming a major concern. World Vision conducted two medical camps in 2 relief camps benefitting 435 people including children. 475 kgs of chlorine disinfectant was also provided to the people to help them clean their houses and lanes. 
In addition to this, 3 child friendly spaces have been set up in Saidapet and North Chennai. The spaces are primarily to ensure that children recover from any trauma. It gives them a chance to play and have fun with other children. 
We are raising INR 3,00,000 and all the donations will go to the children and families affected by the floods. Rush your support now!
