Africa and South Asia
• ILO states that at least 180M child laborers are either 15
y/o or younger; while 8.4M children are in slavery,
trafficking, debt bondage, prostitution and pornography
Poverty becomes a trap when a vicious cycle undermines the efforts of the poor, in
which conditions of poverty feed on themselves and create further conditions of
poverty.

What is NGO?
• Groups or institutions
• Entirely or largely independent of government
• Humanitarian or Cooperative objectives

society) that have a social purpose: being the 3rd leg of the stool on
which development and poverty reduction rests.

“Non- Governmental Organizations are a basic element in
the representation of the modern world. And their
participation in international organizations is in a way a
guarantee of the latter’s political legitimacy. From the stand
point of global democratization, we need the participation
of international public opinion and the mobilizing powers of
non- governmental organizations.”

Organizing
for
Democracy in the
Phils
“Philippine NGOs promote the interests of farmers, the
urban poor, women and indigenous people. NGOs have
formed national and regional coalitions to pressure
government on issues of land reform, the environment,
and human rights, and to bargain for development
assistance from external donors. NGOs provide legal
services, training and financial support to people
engaged in direct action at the community level. In
short, to an extent greater than anywhere else in
Southeast Asia, Philippine NGOs facilitate political
participation and work to redress the inequalities of
society.”

CASE STUDY
World Vision is a global Christian relief, development and advocacy
organisation dedicated to working with children, families and communities
to overcome poverty and injustice. World Vision serves all people,
regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender.
The First Act of Unselfishness:
In 1947 Rev. Pierce met Tena
Hoelkedoer, a teacher, while on a trip to China introduced a battered and
abandoned child named White Jade. Unable to care for the child herself, she
asked, "What are you going to do about her?" Rev. Pierce gave the woman his
last five dollars and agreed to send the same amount each month to help the
woman care for the girl.
What happened next:
Rev. Pierce began building an organisation
dedicated to helping the world's children, and in 1950 World Vision was born.
Over the next several decades WV expanded their work throughout Asia, Latin
America, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
Thirty years ago:
In the 1970s, WV embraced a broader community
development model and established an emergency relief division, apart from
addressing the causes of poverty by focusing on community needs such as water,
sanitation, education, health, leadership training and income generation. WV
strengthened advocacy efforts on child survival and became more active in
working with governments, businesses and other organisations in addressing
child labour, children in armed conflict and the sexual exploitation of women
and children.
Today
World
Vision,
together with microfinance subsidiary
VisionFund International, is one of the
world’s
leading
humanitarian
organisations. Over 40,000 staff
members (including part time and
temporary staff and employees of
microfinance institutions) implement
programmes
of
community
development, emergency relief and
promotion of justice in nearly 100
countries.

Our Vision:
Our Vision for every child, life in all its fullness; Our prayer for every heart,
the will to make it so.
Inspired by and based on John 10:10
Our Future:
We look forward to a world where every child experiences Jesus’ promise of life in all its
fullness. Where they are protected, cared for and given the opportunities to become all
God meant them to be. Where they go strong in communities free of need and full of
promise. Where families are valued, creation preserved and the most vulnerable live in
security and confidence. Where they become responsible citizens of well-led nations.
Where peace and justice reign and all have the right to contribute. Where they flourish
in a world where the treasure of our hearts and the measure of our wealth is the
happiness and well-being of all children. In such a world, we all taste the joy of the
Kingdom of Heaven.

Our Core Values:
• We are Christian– we acknowledge one God, Father, Son and Holy
Spirit.
• We are committed to the poor– we are called to serve the neediest
people of the earth.
• We value people– we regard all as created and loved by God.
• We are Stewards– the resources at our disposal are not our own.
They are sacred trust from God through donors on behalf of the poor.
• We are Partners– we are members of an international World Vision
Partnership that transcends legal, structural and cultural boundaries.
• We are Responsive– we are willing to take intelligent risks and act
quickly.
Our commitment– we recognize that values cannot be legislated; they
must be lived. No document can substitute for the attitudes, decisions
and actions that make up the fabric of our life and work. Therefore, we
covenant with each other, before God, to do our utmost individually
and as corporate entities within the World Vision Partnership to uphold
these Core Values, to honor them in our decisions, to express them in
our relationships and to act consistently with them wherever World
Vision is at work.
