Farmers Managed Natural Regeneration* for Sustainable Land Management and Livelihood Improvement Project in Ethiopia

World Vision prioritizes the restoration of healthy forests by harnessing the vitality of tree roots living in the soil before planting trees. Local farmers are empowered to restore and manage forests, contributing to CO2 reduction. Additionally, they are connected to long term income generation through the acquisition and sale of carbon credits. Alongside forest restoration, efforts include fostering community-led cooperatives and diversifying livelihoods to enhance the resilience of local communities.

Eco-Village Project in Bangladesh

To enhance the living environment of local residents affected by climate change, we install rainwater harvesting systems and eco-friendly cook stoves. Furthermore, we actively restore mangrove forests around the village to reduce CO2 emissions and proactively prevent climate change. We also support residents’ livelihood stability by providing eco-friendly agricultural education to increase production and distribute solar energy generation facilities.

Marine Debris Cleanup Project in Vietnam

In Vietnam, one of the largest contributors to marine debris, local residents are taking proactive steps to halt environmental destruction and foster stable livelihoods in a clean environment through the Marine Debris Cleanup Project. To achieve this, we organize marine debris collection campaigns and empower local children and residents with education on the importance of marine debris cleanup, waste reduction and methods of resource reuse and recycling. Additionally, we collaborate with various partners such as radio broadcasts and ecofriendly product expos, to effectively promote the need for marine debris cleanup. Particularly, we support vulnerable households in coastal areas, which suffer the most severe damage from marine debris, to generate stable income through entrepreneurship education and startup kits. Through these diverse activities, we aim to enhance the awareness of residents accustomed to polluted environment and inspire behavioral change.

(Domestic) Biodiversity Conservation Project in Korea

We contribute to biodiversity by conducting ecological surveys and conservation activities to increase the population of endangered and native plants. Additionally, we establish a monitoring platform for local community environmental conservation and engage citizens in ecological conservation activities to sustainably manage the environment.

Coastal Wetland Conservation Project through Native Salt-Tolerant Plant Planting in Korea

Home gardens providing nutritious meals for children

The Blue Carbon Project conservers coastal wetlands to address the climate crisis, which poses a more severe threat to vulnerable populations. By raising awareness of the ecological value of coastal wetlands and establishing habitats for native salt-tolerant plants, we contribute to carbon reduction efforts in local communities. Through the “Mangrove protection donation campaign” campaign, participants directly visit the area to plant and nurture native salttolerant plants, spreading a culture of environmental conservation as well as improving the local economy.

Creation of sustainable social value

Family Caring Youth* Support Project

We provide tailored support for young adults who are taking on the responsibility of family caregiving at an age where they still need protection. Collaborating with social welfare agencies, we monitor crisis situations in each household and assist youth through integrated support in <livelihood>, <medical/care>, and <future> categories.

Family Caring youth

Youth under the age of 24 who face difficulties in academic and daily life due to caring for families with issues such as illness, disability, mental health, and alcohol addiction. *

Independence Preparing Youth* Support Project

To ensure the stable livelihood and full independence of all independent youth in the country, we provide support for <housing, living expenses, and medical costs>. Additionally, we offer <Dream Support Funds> and <Independence Capacity Enhancement Programs> to empower them to become selfreliant and pursue their dreams.

Independence Preparing Youth

A youth who, due to the absence of guardiancies or caregiving challenges, received care in child welfare facilities or foster homes until the age of 18 and has ended their protection after reaching adulthood.

Vulnerable Children Nutrition Support Project

World Vision supports approximately 280,000 nutritionally vulnerable children nationwide who, for various reasons, are unable to provide meals for themselves. Our goal is to ensure they do not suffer from hunger and can grow healthily while pursuing their dreams. Through programs like Lunch Box of Love / Weekend meal package / Good Morning Breakfast program / Nutrition Awareness Program, we provide evening meals, weekend lunchboxes, and breakfasts consistently. We also identify and assist children facing crisis situations and psychological/ emotional difficulties. Moreover, we empower children to make healthy dietary choices for themselves.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Project

Still, one in four people worldwide lacks access to safely managed drinking water, and about half of the global population does not have access to safely managed sanitation. Particularly, the number of countries experiencing severe drought due to climate change is increasing. World Vision provides clean water, sanitation and hygiene to children and their families in low and middle income countries. Additionally, we offer capacity-building education to empower communities to manage water and sanitation facilities themselves and improve hygiene practices.

Creating Climate-Smart Educational Environment Project

We empower school-aged children in vulnerable countries heavily impacted by the climate crisis to protect themselves from its effects and thrive independently. We establish environmentally-friendly educational environments and support children's literacy skills. Additionally, we conduct environmental education to empower the children, communities, and local governments to effectively respond to the climate change crisis. Through advocacy activities, we work to increase climate resilience at the local government level.

Adolescent Vocational Training and Livelihood Skills Enhancement Program

We support the socio-economic empowerment of vulnerable youth through quality vocational training, aiming to foster their growth as members of society. Specifically, we provide opportunities for out-of-school youth to continue learning and prepare for their future, enabling them to participate in society actively and stably.

Digital Education Environment and Digital Literacy Enhancement Project

We establish essential educational infrastructure for digital education and provide basic digital literacy education. Through this, we support more children in accessing equal educational opportunities in IT environments and growing into creative talents.

World Vision values both the creation of new social values and the collaboration and connection among stakeholders in carrying them out.

Implementation of innovative and expanded impact

Establishing a collaborative model with local governments

Buan-gun

The local government, World Vision, and social enterprises collaborate to create a business model to address local issues (such as rural decline) and solve social problems (such as preparing youth for independence). This model aims to support youth in finding and creating “jobs they love” by fostering intrinsic motivation and enhancing external skills, enabling them to become self-reliant locally. Through this approach, we seek to empower communities to identify integrated solutions to local challenges and propose alternatives autonomously.

World Vision Partnership Call for Proposals: Orange Puzzle

To address persistent poverty and inequality among children and youth both domestically and globally, World Vision seeks to identify and support partners with innovative ideas. Through partnership calls, we connect selected social ventures and non-profit startups with various opportunities and resources available through World Vision. Through sustained collaboration with entrepreneurial partners, World Vision aims to create new impacts.
