Child protection

Help protect exploited children.

Economic and social strain caused by disasters like the global health and hunger crises are deepening poverty and leaving kids more vulnerable to child labor, child marriage, and family violence. Your gift to support child protection will help shield vulnerable girls and boys from harm — and help those who have been exploited to recover.

Child labor affects nearly 1 in 10 children. It’s estimated that globally there are 160 million child laborers ages 5 to 17 worldwide, with 70 million of these children working under hazardous conditions. You can help bring protection and recovery to children harmed by this and other forms of exploitation and abuse. Thanks to public grants, your gift will multiply 4 times in impact to help communities resist harmful beliefs and practices and provide specialized programs to prevent abuse and support restoration.

World Vision’s approach to ending violence against children protects them today and empowers them for tomorrow. We do this by equipping them, their communities, and local partners with the tools to address the root causes of violence against children.

Your gift will help protect kids and restore health through resources like:

• Education for families and communities on how to ensure child well-being
• Training that empowers kids to protect themselves and one another
• Counseling and recovery assistance for child survivors of abuse, including things like access to healthcare, educational support, and life skills training
• Building and strengthening community partnerships that safeguard against child exploitation, abuse, and neglect

Thank you for reflecting Jesus’ love for children by helping to provide child protection in some of the world’s toughest places.
