Most rescue projects are aimed at smoothly transforming into development projects. 3. Public education. Vision May every child live a rich life; Seek every soul and be determined to realize it. Our vision for every child, a full life; We pray for every heart to come true. ) Originated from 1947, Dr. Pope, the founder of World Vision, came to Xiamen, China. After a school speech, he had the idea of establishing World Vision. On the second day of the speech, Bupir will return to China. He came to school to say goodbye to the children. Just then, he found a little girl, White, who was ignored by the headmaster because she was the only person in the group who didn't get the food distributed by the headmaster. So he took out his only $5 to support White's diet, and promised to send $5 a month to support the child abandoned by his parents. From 65438 to 0950, he felt the sufferings of civilians, especially war orphans, and founded the relief organization World Vision. Started in South Korea, and then spread all over Asia, 1962 served Greater China, and set up an office in Kowloon West District, Hong Kong. World Vision has grown to about 65,438+000 countries and regions, such as Ethiopia, Ghana, Afghanistan, India, Romania, Austria, Bolivia, El Salvador, Mexico, Palestine and Papua New Guinea. Committed to community development and disaster relief, helping poor children and their families build a sustainable future. From a child to millions of children all over the world, World Vision has gradually developed. The work of World Vision is not limited to children's assistance, but also concerns about children's living environment and their basic needs of education, nutrition and health. At the same time, it involves the development of the whole poor community, the protection of ecological environment in mountainous areas, farmland water conservancy, disaster response, education and health, and services for special children/people. Especially in education, World Vision believes that education is the key and fundamental force to get rid of poverty and the foundation to create sustainable development. Over the years, World Vision has quickly responded to major disasters in the world, such as famine in Ethiopia, tsunami in South Asia, AIDS and Ebola virus, and the Syrian crisis. World Vision of Core Beliefs established six core beliefs in 199 1 as the basic principles of institutional service and being a human being. 1. We take Jesus Christ as an example: some of our colleagues are driven by Jesus' philanthropic spirit to participate in the service. Jesus is an example for us to learn, which includes sincere and unconditional love, humble service and honesty; And pay special attention to the needs of the poor, children and women. We are committed to serving the poor, hoping to face poverty and disaster with them, promote the change of living conditions and live a richer life. At the same time, we respect the poor as active participants, and our employees and sponsors can learn from them. We attach importance to people's value and firmly believe that everyone is valuable. We attach too much importance to people's money, structure, etc. Respect everyone's dignity, uniqueness and intrinsic value of action. We appreciate the rich and varied personality, culture and contribution of human beings. 4. We are partners: we are both partners of World Vision and independent. In the organization, we cooperate with each other and are committed to mutual understanding, understanding and care. At the same time, we maintain a frank partnership with the government, sponsors, the poor and any individual or institution, and are willing to accept suggestions. In the process of developing services, we share the rights of openness, equality and mutual benefit, mutual respect and common development. We are housekeepers, entrusted to be good at using and managing resources and serving customers better. At the same time, we are honest in words and deeds. Regardless of the donors, the communities in the community development plan, the government and the public, we treat them with an open and realistic attitude, and strive to match words with deeds. We have established a sound accountability mechanism and strived to provide quality services. We attach importance to the management of the earth's resources and environment, and our development projects are eco-friendly. 6. We react quickly. When a disaster happens, time is life. We take practical actions with wisdom at the fastest speed, respond to local needs, solve difficulties and save lives. In the face of social and economic needs, as well as new and rare opportunities, we also respond quickly; And encourage, innovate, be flexible and learn correctly. World Vision is in China and in China. We have witnessed the great progress made by the government in poverty alleviation and development. At the same time, we have witnessed that there is still demand in some poor rural areas or villages in the city; Some children fail to give full play to their potential for various reasons, such as children affected by domestic violence and malnutrition, and left-behind children who lack care. We believe that every child should enjoy a rich life, and we support the development of the most vulnerable children through various methods (development, emergency rescue, children's centers, public education, etc.). We can't finish this task alone. Therefore, we strive to seek cooperation with the government and other partners to improve the quality of life of children, their families and communities. The following is an important year for World Vision's service development in China: 1962 When Typhoon Dai Wen hit Hong Kong, World Vision immediately distributed relief materials and set up an office in Hong Kong. 1982, the Ministry of Industry of China under World Vision Hong Kong participated in the flood relief work in Qinghai, China; With the strong support of the central government and governments at all levels, it gradually took root in China. During the period of 1986, World Vision launched a health education project in Guangdong Province and the first rural community development project in China in Yishui County, Shandong Province. From 65438 to 0993, the Ministry of Industry of China officially became an independent office (located in Hongkong), and changed its name to World Vision-China, and continued to expand various poverty alleviation and community development work in China. During the11990s, World Vision began to expand its relief and post-disaster reconstruction work in China on a large scale, and set up care services for orphans and children with special needs to promote various poverty alleviation, development and construction work. In addition, since 1997, World Vision has cooperated with china charity federation in the project "Children for Regional Development".

That is, in the next three years (20 18-2020), the two sides will support grassroots communities and more than 60,000 children and adolescents and their parents or caregivers in 28 counties and cities and 105 townships in China. World Vision will also invest 6,543.8 billion US dollars to promote health, nutrition, AIDS prevention and treatment, water and sanitation (WASH) and other projects along about 50 "Belt and Road" and related African countries and regions, so as to enhance the well-being of women, children and adolescents.

The Global Action to End Violence against Children is an advocacy action promoted by World Vision all over the world. In China, World Vision takes "domestic violence" as its theme, aiming at "in 2022, boys and girls in China will grow up in a positive and caring environment, free from the threat of domestic violence", and has carried out a series of targeted project activities and public education. The Chinese slogan of the campaign is "Need a world to end violence against children". This action was supported by celebrities including Fang Lishen, a Hong Kong star. Types of World Vision's projects in China. Children's protection of children is often the best indicator to measure the quality of a community, so improving children's situation is also the focus of promoting the development of poor communities. Through the child-oriented development projects in this region, World Vision provides education, nutrition and medical assistance to the aided children, and promotes the all-round development of their communities through agriculture, education, medical care and small-scale infrastructure projects. In addition, World Vision also actively encourages community participation, and through capacity-building activities, ensures that the community has the ability to develop continuously after the World Vision project is completed. As a child-oriented organization, child protection is the focus of World Vision. World Vision, together with its partners, has always been committed to protecting children in the community, especially the most vulnerable children. World Vision's child protection project aims to strengthen the community child protection mechanism and achieve the following three goals:1; The community has the environment, knowledge and attitude to provide care and protection for children; 2; The community has the attitude, knowledge and ability to identify and prevent children from specific violence; 3; The community has the ability to meet the needs of protected children. 20 16548, World Vision establishes children's centers in China. Held 16 children's forums, directly benefiting more than 6,000 children; 272 children's groups have been established, benefiting nearly 30,000 people. By the end of 20 17, the number of registered representatives under the World Vision project was about 63,000. 2. Disaster relief and reconstruction "We react quickly" is one of the core beliefs of World Vision. When a disaster happens, the rescue team of World Vision is often the first international rescue organization to respond to the disaster. The rescue team of World Vision will quickly go to the disaster area to understand the disaster situation and the urgent needs of the victims, and distribute relief materials to the victims according to the actual situation and plan the future reconstruction work. In addition, in order to reduce the impact of disasters, World Vision also attaches great importance to disaster prevention and relief work, including afforestation in barren hills, planting grass to control sand, building ditches, river banks and other water conservancy projects. In order to effectively supervise the whole disaster relief operation and ensure that the victims get the help they deserve, World Vision has formulated a set of perfect disaster relief procedures, which are implemented by the rescue team of World Vision in the process of material procurement, transportation, distribution and acceptance. In 20 17, World Vision invested more than 10 16000 RMB in disaster relief and reconstruction, and more than 14000 people benefited. Education is the best way to help people get rid of poverty. World Vision understands this truth and actively promotes education. Through incentives and grants, students who can't afford books and miscellaneous fees are helped to go to school, and those who have achieved outstanding results are commended. In 20 17, World Vision built/rebuilt 32 schools and kindergartens, actively improved school facilities in poor areas, organized life skills education and extracurricular activities, and enriched students' campus life; At the same time, it provided training and exchange opportunities for teachers, improved the quality of teaching and benefited nearly 60,000 people. Vision provides educational opportunities for girls, ethnic minorities and disabled children in remote and poor areas, and organizes adult education classes to upgrade their skills. Four. Medical facilities in remote and poor areas of China are backward. In order to improve the medical level in poverty-stricken areas and strengthen the ability of local people to prevent and fight diseases, World Vision provides medical training and health education to local medical staff and people. In addition, World Vision has also carried out AIDS education projects and projects to enhance the ability to prevent and treat tuberculosis, so as to enhance people's attention and understanding of the disease. Vision also provides vaccination and emergency medical assistance to children in poor areas, carries out projects to improve children's nutritional status, and improves medical facilities in poor areas. V. The vision of agriculture, forestry and environmental protection/small-scale infrastructure will pay attention to the ecological environment in poor mountainous areas, adjust measures to local conditions, and encourage farmers to use some agroforestry technologies closely related to ecology, such as agroforestry technology, orchard planting, afforestation in barren hills, etc., which can not only protect the environment, but also improve the quality of life. In poor rural and arid areas, World Vision will help build puddles and biogas digesters to improve the local environment and water conservancy system; And through small infrastructure projects, including building roads, bridges and power projects, help people in poor areas improve their lives. The organization caring for orphans is very concerned about the growth of orphans and children with special needs. Since 1996, programs to help orphans or services for special children have been launched in Guangxi, Jilin, Ningxia and Gansu, respectively, to provide holistic care for children with special needs and provide necessary assistance in education, medical care and living facilities to improve their quality of life. In Guangxi, World Vision has set up a guidance and education center for Nanning Welfare Institute to provide more comprehensive rehabilitation services for children with special needs. In addition, World Vision will set up a computer room for the Jilin Orphan Keer School to give students the opportunity to learn computers. Seven. With the rapid development of China's economy, the problem of urban poverty has been widely concerned. From 65438 to 0999, World Vision launched the first factory department project in Dongguan, aiming at improving the work skills and social skills of migrant workers working in factories, building their self-confidence to help themselves and even the rural areas where they grew up, and finally getting rid of poverty. In 2002, World Vision launched a micro-enterprise development project to provide self-employment and development opportunities for people in need in cities. In addition, World Vision has successively launched a student aid program for children in distress, a community volunteer program and a community child rescue service center to respond to the needs of urban poor students and street children. With the support of World Vision, Yongsheng Community opened a shop called "Window of Yongsheng" in Old Town of Lijiang, a tourist resort in Yunnan, which is more meaningful. Its purpose is to connect Yongsheng County, a remote rural area, with the external market. This shop is a window for farmers to see the world, where farmers can test the potential of their agricultural products and handicrafts, so as to strengthen their understanding of the market, improve their income and skills and improve their lives. World Vision launched an urban migrant children's project in Guangdong to help children understand self-protection, have positive values, be willing to care about others and the community where they live, help children get suitable family and community support networks, and help children acquire the ability to help other children. By the second half of 20 17, the project had served more than 230,000 people. Characteristics of World Vision Project ● Partner Vision adopts the working mode of "partner" and works together with the government, organizations, academic institutions and people in the project area to achieve the goal of poverty alleviation and sustainable development. After more than 20 years' efforts, World Vision has not only been respected, but also established a good cooperative relationship with the China government and non-governmental organizations, and won the trust of government departments at all levels and all walks of life. Over the years, our partners include the Ministry of Civil Affairs of China, the Office of the Leading Group for Poverty Alleviation and Development of the State Council, the former China International Economic and Technological Exchange Center, the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, and provincial and county government units. Non-governmental organizations and academic institutions in colleges and universities that we have cooperated with include china charity federation, local charitable associations, Soong Ching Ling Foundation, Population Welfare Foundation, China Academy of Social Sciences, Peking University, Tsinghua University and China Youth Political College. ● On-site supervision In order to ensure the quality of projects and the use of donations, all projects are coordinated, implemented and supervised by the staff of World Vision. Vision has excellent and clean human resources, which is one of the main factors for the success of the project. ● The publicity meeting on community participation and sustainable development also actively encourages community residents to participate in project design, implementation, supervision and evaluation, and builds community organization, management and leadership capabilities to ensure that the community still has the ability to continue to develop after the project is completed. By encouraging the community to participate in the vision project, we can promote the ability of the people in the community, reduce external dependence, and finally achieve the goal of self-reliance, sustainable development and lasting improvement of the quality of life in the region.
