How we've transformed children's lives

Past Impact Reports

The value of our work is truly measured by its impact on children's lives. So every year, alongside our financial Annual Report, we publish an assessment of our projects' effectiveness over the last 12 months; our Impact Report.

Our Impact Report looks at both:

• breadth of impact - particularly the number of children we have reached with our programming and
• depth of impact - looking at the nature of change in children's lives.

World Vision's past impact reports outline our achievements in previous years. We seek to be transparent about our successes and our failures through sharing specific case studies.
