Transformational Development World Vision believes that the best way to improve children's lives is through child focused transformational development. We work with families, communities and children in many areas in Indonesia through a range of programmes that foster change and improve their well-being. Transformational development is the process through which children, families and communities identify and overcome the obstacles that prevent them from living life in all its fullness. World Vision partners with communities to improve lives. Through these partnerships, communities access the knowledge and resources needed to improve the well-being of children and overcome poverty. In partnership with disadvantaged communities, World Vision facilitates and enables people to discover and use their own ideas and skills works to move from poverty to self-sufficiency. This process first helps people and their communities to recognize the resources that formulate within themselves to make change possible. We support communities to transform themselves by carrying out their own development programming in education, health, economic development, microfinance, agriculture, water and sanitation and other community context needs. The principles of the transformational development are community ownership, holism, sustainability, and mutual transformation. By helping community members help each other, World Vision ensures that the process of positive change continues long after development staffs have left. In carrying some of the programs, World Vision join hands with Wahana Visi Indonesia as its local partner. Sponsorship Child sponsorship builds relationships between children, their families, sponsors and World Vision staff. These relationships enable mutual transformation by sharing resources, hope and experiences in overcoming poverty. Health World Vision works with communities, governments, and partners to improve child health. Through preventative measure such as good nutrition, breast-feeding, hygiene, and vaccinations, communities can increase the chance that their children will grow up healthy and able to reach their full potential. Education World Vision engages with teachers, schools and communities to improve learning outcomes in education, build confidence and teach value-based life skills. We work to ensure that all children have access to the quality education required to create independent and productive adult lives. Water and Sanitation Good water and sanitation systems translate into healthy children and economic empowerment. World Vision works with communities to dig wells, set up pumps, construct latrines and iirigate crops. HIV and AIDS response Through World Vision's Hope Initiative, we work to reduce the impact of HIV and AIDS through prevention, care and advocacy. We work with children, communities and faith leaders to mobilise help for orphans and vulnerable children, and to prevent further spread of the disease. Economic Development World Vision helps families to access loans, savings products, financial know-how, market accessibility and technologies. World Vision also open doors to economic opportunities which lead to increased family incomes, improved nutrition, better health and greater educational opportunities for children. In the end, families are able to create long-lasting security for their loved-ones. Emergency Assistance World Vision strives to reduce the impact of emergencies on people's lives, addressing humanitarian needs and the underlying vulnerabilities so that transformational development is possible. World Vision is responding to an increase in disasters by helping communities survive, recover and prevent future catastrophes. Pre-positioning Relief supplies are pre-positioned on three continents from which avalaible supplies can be quickly airlifted. In large-scale disasters where adequate relief supplies and equipment are unavailable locally, World Vision's Global Pre-Positioning Resource Network mobilises these suplies. Skilled staff accompany relief shipments and provide training for field personnel, maximising the impact of the supplies. Response When a disaster strikes, World Vision responds with essentials such as food, water, sanitation, temporary shelter and humanitarian protection. The aim is to save lives and prevent the loss of livelihoods. The combination of local, national, regional and global response teams means that we can respond quickly and approriately to a variety of emergency situations. World Vision also works with communities to grow their capacity to respond to disasters themselves. Rehabilitation World Vision engages communities in rebuilding social, physical, human and financial capital after a disaster strikes. Rehabilitation helps rebuild infrastructure and livelihoods so communities can recover quickly and work on limiting the impact of disasters. Our goal is to leave people even stronger than they were before disaster struck. Disaster Mitigation As the frequency of disasters increases, mitigation and risk reduction programmes are vital to helping communities prepare for future disasters. World Vision programmes support traditional coping mechanisms that enhance social and economic resilience and long-term development. Effective mitigation can significantly reduce lost of life, assets and livelihoods in the eventof disaster, and prevent communities from becoming even more vulnerable. Promotion of Justice World Vision works to empower communities to know and to speak up for their rights at local, national and international levels. Through our advocacy work, we enable the voices of the poor and oppressed to reach decision-makers who have the power to change unjust policies and practices. Health World Vision advocates for quality health care for all people, specifically focusing on preventive health care for children. We urge local communities, national governments and the international community to make children's health a top priority and live up to the commitments they have made. Education World Vision advocates for quality education for all children, especially vulnerable children, girls, children with disabilities and children in crisis situations. We call on governments to agree to and implement universal education standards, and urge national and international community to devote more funds toward meeting these goals so all children can receive the knowledge and skill they need. Livelihoods World Vision urges the national and international community to address the root cause of food insecurity and poverty, including unfair trade, insufficient investment and environmental degradation. By focusing on improving aid effectiveness, the protection of assets and economic development. World Vision helps ensure that the poor have more sustainable livelihoods. Child rights and protection Too many children are denied their rights as they suffer from abuse, human trafficking, child labour and other problems. World Vision stands up for the rights of children because of their belief that all children should have the right to reach their full-God-given potential. We work with communities to promote child right and protect children from violence and abuse. We also equip children to participate actively in decisions that affect them and stand up for their rights. In the end of these efforts, we hope to witness empowered children and their communities to experience the fullness of life through positive change effected the intentional influencing of all dutybearer. Strategic Initiatives We seek to support, encourage and strengthen community leaders, including religious leaders, through conferences, consultation and educational opportunities to overcome poverty. This fosters a kind of leadership that serves others and has an understanding of and commitment to the poor. World Vision welcomes partnership with Christian churches and respects the diversity represented across the spectrum of churches. World Vision opposes proselytism (actively recruiting converts) or coercion of any kind. This main principle applies to other faith-based relationships being built and maintained. Public Awareness We encourage people to see beyond their own situation and interests, and to care about the needs of others. We raise awareness of human need through a variety of programs and campaigns, creating partnerships and understanding between people in different parts of the world that can enable us all to work in solidarity to reach our goals. The best way to change a child's life is to change the world in which they live.
By sponsoring a child, you will help to bring about long-term benefits to the child, their family and community. Your support will help to fund vital development work in the child's community. This work ensures that the community will be able to provide the children with the basics they need, helps them to grow up in a healthy environment and have the chance for a better future. What is Child Sponsorship? Child sponsorship is a way of raising long term support for children while providing a rich and rewarding experience to donors. Child sponsorship establishes a relationship between a donor and a single child in a way that personalises the challenges of community development while allowing donors to see how their money is making a difference to the life of an individual child, family and their community. Sponsorship helps provide necessities such as access to education, health care, immunisation and clean water and also supports vital development work in the community of the child. How does sponsorship benefit the community? Sponsored children are based in geographic areas where the need to improve child well-being and poverty reduction is the greatest. These are the same areas where the ADPs are established. Through funds from child sponsorship, a long-term community development strategy is developed and implemented. Components of the development program may include working for better health and nutrition, food and water security, microfinance, leadership training, HIV and AIDs elimination, access to education, and ensuring that the children's physical well-being are cared for as well as spiritual support from community members.World Vision believes that the best way to help children is through their families and communities. Child sponsorship funds are used to run development projects that World Vision calls Area Development Programmes (ADPs). ADPs use an approach to development that targets geographical districts with a long-term commitment to improve child well-being and to reduce poverty. ADPs aim to empower communities and help build capacity so that the community itself retains ownership of the development process. The community decides what its development priorities are and works alongside World Vision to achieve its goals. ADPs are integrated and holistic and involve initiatives in health, education, agriculture, water, infrastructure, landmines, leadership, gender, and income generation, according to a community's own needs and priorities. These activities are run over a ten to 15 year span and usually target the poorest areas in the district. The ultimate goal of an ADP is to help the community achieve self-sufficiency so that residents can provide for themselves and for their children without outside help. It's easy to feel hopeless, but through child sponsorship, you truly can do something about it, something extraordinary. You can help the child and make changes not only for the child but also for the community where the child lives. So, do not wait anymore. Join child sponsorship program.
