World Vision Purchases Meet Multiple Needs

 

Here in America, we are blessed beyond measure. Often, I see the devastation in other parts of the world where poverty is already an issue. Natural disasters affect all areas but when it hits an area that is already suffering from extreme poverty, my heart breaks knowing that there are people who may never be able to get back the very little they worked so hard to have. The most heartbreaking part is when you see a child that is lacking in clean clothing (or even clothing in general) and scrounging for crumbs to fill their swollen, hungry bellies. World Vision is giving hope to many who are suffering. 

 

World Vision Goes Where WE Can Not

I have a home and a family here. My own personal ministry is helping foster children here in our very own town. My heart breaks for the children all over the world. As much as I would love to load up in an airplane and head to Puerto Rico or Haiti right now to bring a whole slew of children home with me to care for while the area rebuilds from the massive devastation from the latest round of hurricanes, it isn’t something I can do for many reasons. However, I CAN make a difference through purchasing gifts sold by World Vision.

About World Vision

World Vision is a global Christian humanitarian organization whose service extends to those stricken by extreme poverty. For 65 years now, World Vision has been making a difference all around the world within families, communities, and children (even within the US). Back in 1950, Bob Pierce started World Vision with just $5. Over the years, they have been helping in nearly 100 countries. 

Unlike many other humanitarian organizations, World Vision uses 85% of the company’s operating expenses to go directly to supporting the needs of families and communities all around the world. They keep the expenses for fundraising and management down to only 15% of the total operating expenses. That is incredibly low compared to other operations!
