Name of Organisation

In 1947, Dr Robert Pierce, an American Missionary, travelled to Korea and

witnessed the many hundreds of people who had to go without food, shelter and

clothing on a regular basis. Afterwards in early 1950 Dr Pierce created an

orphanage for the abandoned/orphaned during the Korean War in Korea. DrPierce then began fundraising, after his return to the US, to expand his

organisation further in Asia, and in the late 1950, World Vision was founded and

established.

Aims and Objectives

World Visions aim is to eliminate poverty and its causes. World Vision is devoted

to improving the lives of the poor, supporting disaster relief organisations and

the promotion of justice. World Vision aims to make the world a better place and

giving people a better quality of life.

Role Of The Organisation

World Vision provides many people with access to clean water and food as well

as education for the children who arent as fortunate. World Visions work is

mostly project-based.

Programs

Sponsor a Child

Sponsor a child is a program which involves a monthly donation from someone

who is willing and can afford to donate approximately $43 to a specific child each

month. This program is being undertaken globally.

Sponsor a child exists to improve the quality of life for children all around the

world.

Multiplying Gift Appeal

Multiplying gift appeal is a program where people make one-off donations

starting from $85. This program is being undertaken in Mozambique as its main

focus. Multiplying gift appeal exists to

aid people who live in areas severely affected by drought or floods inMozambique.

Smiles Gifts That Change Lives

Smiles is a program where people have the option to give one-off gifts or gift

packages. Smiles is a program where children in need say what they need and

have it put into a catalogue that is presented to people who can choose to buy

these gifts for them. Smiles is undertaken

globally.

Effectiveness Of The Organisation

Sponsor a child has helped many children all around the world; it has helped

them get access to clean water, food, education, healthcare and income-

generating activities. I think this program should continue in the future since

there are so many people who are willing to and want to help these children who

need the sponsorship.

Multiplying Gift Appeal has aided hundreds of people in Mozambique by

distributing life-saving food and relief essentials. I think this program should

continue in the future considering the amount of people it helped to go through

such devastating times of flood and drought.

Smiles has put numerous smiles on children of all countries, it has helped

children get the essential items they need. I think this program should not

continue but rather, World Vision should put more effort into advertising Child

Sponsorship since these two programs are similar in their aim.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I think that World Vision is a very successful Global Organisation

and they are slowly achieving their goal to eliminate poverty and its causes.
