“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” Matthew 25:35-36
At World Vision, we have not invited the children into our lives … they have invited us into theirs. From them we learn … about poverty, about challenges, about the big differences made by the tiniest amount of hope. Through education and by providing pathways out of poverty, we are giving them a voice. We are empowering them as agents of change for their communities’ future. When we feed the children – with nourishment and knowledge – we create opportunity for their entire family unit, village, community and country.
