Our hearts break for the people of India as they face a devastating second wave of COVID-19 infections. With over 200,000 reported deaths, and 20 million confirmed cases, the surge has overwhelmed India’s healthcare system. Those already living in poverty are in even more desperate need.
Your congregation can help vulnerable children and families in India and around the world who are being hit the hardest by the effects of this pandemic.
World Vision is one of the largest child-focused non-governmental organizations in India with vast experience of working with vulnerable communities across the country. We're working to reach those in most need with essentials like medical equipment to deliver oxygen, beds and tents for emergency health facilities, and more.
WV India has active plans underway to respond to this second wave and is scaling up the response to address the emerging urgent needs. Over the next two months and into the next year:
As this crisis puts children and families living in poverty in even greater risk, please join us working to reach those most vulnerable – in India and around the world. Your church's love offering brings immediate help and builds long term relief to children and families.
Since the start of the pandemic, churches like yours have helped us bring aid to 4.8 million people in India alone through our global response. We thank your church for the love and generosity to serve those in need, and please keep the people of India in your prayers

World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. Motivated by our faith in Jesus Christ, we serve alongside the poor and oppressed as a demonstration of God's unconditional love for all people.
For over 70 years, World Vision has ministered alongside the Church to answer Jesus' call in Matthew 25 to care for our brothers and sisters in need. The Church is the greatest God-ordained force for good, and through Jesus we can help heal broken relationships, bear the Good News, and make God's kingdom a visible reality on earth.
At World Vision, stewardship is an integral part of everything we do. In rare cases where donations exceed what is needed, or where local conditions prevent program implementation, World Vision will redirect funds to similar activities to help children and families in need.
