It is unacceptable that each year nearly 6.5 million children die from preventable causes and nearly half of deaths in children younger than 5 occur within the first 28 days of life. Each year, 289,000 women die from causes related to pregnancy and childbirth.
World Vision is determined—with your help—to put a stop to these needless deaths. Our programs target some of the most vulnerable communities in some of the most dangerous places for mothers and children. Working with technical experts from throughout the World Vision global Partnership, academia, and United Nations agencies, we have developed a strategy to deliver life-saving health education and care to some of the most underserved communities in the developing world.
To give children a stronger start in life, World Vision is focused on three end results:
Mothers and children are well-nourished
Mothers and children are protected from infection and disease
Mothers and children have access to essential health services
World Vision’s global health strategy is founded on proven and cost-effective preventive practices. Our emphasis is on the first 1,000 days, from conception to age 2, because the right nutrition and health interventions during this critical window are vital for survival, and directly impact a child’s ability to grow, learn, and ultimately break the cycle of poverty.
World Vision works at the household level through community health workers and trusted volunteers (Click here to watch now), who focus on primary health and nutrition education, changing health-related behaviors, and encouraging women and families to use essential health services. We build the capacity of local agencies and community groups to monitor the causes of illness, death, and malnutrition, while leading advocacy efforts for improved quality and availability of health services. At the national level, World Vision works with governments and key partners to strengthen the health system and improve the services provided.
Of course, we want mothers and children to survive. But we dare to want even more. We want them to thrive. Will you join World Vision as we embark on this effort to reach out as the healing, helping, and loving hands of Jesus to his children?
