The end of extreme poverty is within sight, but it remains in the most stubborn places: those with fragile governments, violence or war. Creative new solutions are needed—ones that will work in the world’s hardest places. You can participate in solving this challenge by supporting World Vision’s Innovation Fund.
The goal of the Fund is to accelerate innovation by providing the risk capital needed to try new poverty-alleviation ideas. From 2011 to 2016, the fund launched 22 pilot projects in more than a dozen countries, releasing a wave of new poverty-fighting tools for efforts encompassing Christian discipleship, water, health, economic empowerment, child protection, and emergency relief. With a long-term presence in over 1,600 program areas in nearly 100 countries, World Vision is strongly positioned to test, replicate, and scale promising new approaches.
Join us in this endeavor to find new ways to fight poverty. YOU can make a difference by starting your own fundraiser for Innovation.
Donations to your fundraiser will help The Innovation Fund:
Invest in multiple innovation concepts at differing stages of development, spreading the risk of failure and opportunities for success
Seek maximum scalability, replicability, and leverage
Catalyze churches and other faith communities to change behaviors and end harmful practices. Sample activities include birth registration campaigns and Channels of Hope training for faith leaders.
Give investors (donors) the final decision on where to invest the fund’s resources
