Campaign with us to create a world fit for children

Around the world, children’s fundamental rights to protection, to be provided for, and to participate in decisions that affect them are repeatedly and systematically violated and ignored.

Every child has the right to survive and thrive, but with increasing global inequality, unfair systems, brutal conflicts and an unfolding climate emergency, the world today is in a child rights crisis.

We're calling on leaders in the UK and around the world to be champions for children and we want you to join us.

Tell your leaders and representatives that children need to be protected, provided for, and listened to. All children have the right to grow up on a peaceful, equitable and habitable planet. #Champion4Children

Our new research reveals that every $1 invested in child-related Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) yields a staggering $10 return – yet, only 5% of global aid targets children. Our Putting Children First for Sustainable Development report explores current trends in child-related aid spending and the extraordinary impact when we invest in children.

How is World Vision campaigning for change?

We speak out

We are a community of people that believe in helping the most vulnerable, wherever they are. We empower our family of campaigners to learn about the world's problems and take action. Pictured, young people from Bangladesh, Kenya, Ukraine and the UK hand in their call to action of the UK government at 10 Downing Street.

We protest

When the futures of vulnerable children are at stake, we bring affected people together to pile on the pressure. From campaigning to protect Ethiopian children from famine in the 1980s, raising awareness for the AIDS crisis in the 1990s, to delivering life-saving essentials and protection programmes to Ukrainian refugees. Pictured, World Vision advocates protest child abuse and sexual harassment.

We pray

Whatever happens in the world, wherever it happens, we believe in the power of prayer. We pray for those that need God's love. Pictured, a boy prays during a celebration of World Vision's work to bring water to all in Rwanda.
