Millions of girls are kept out of school every year. It’s time to change that! World Vision is committed to educating girls, because their dreams matter. #WorldVision #MondayMood #education #learning


“Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.” (Oscar Wilde) - World Vision is committed to #SriLanka children’s wellbeing. Nearly $6 million people need humanitarian aid in Sri Lanka. Help #SriLanka children!

Education is the flashlight to the future! World Vision is helping children in Laos remain in school through scholarships so they can go on to become nurses and engineers some day. #WorldVision #education #learning


More than 1 million children die each year from severe wasting – a serious form of malnutrition. But malnutrition is preventable. In Laos, I saw how World Vision is helping families improve children’s diets to prevent malnutrition. There is hope! #WorldVision #health #tbt


It is time to unclip the wings of women and let them fly as leaders. Women serving in leadership roles at World Vision is essential, a priority, crucial to our work #WorldVision #leadership #womenleaders






Governments must play a leading role in ensuring the sustainability of clean water in communities. At the UN Water Conference, I talked about how World Vision supports governments in fulfilling their responsibility. #WaterAction #WorldVision


When I visited Nepal, I saw that World Vision is more than a stop gap for children. We are addressing the root causes of poverty by improving education, food security and economic resilience. #WorldVision #education


In Venezuela, I saw beauty and despair—the tension between hope and heartache. World Vision is there, helping families to feed their children but more must be done. #health #endhunger #WorldVision


I joined children in a game of football when I was in Venezuela and they told me all about the hardships they have encountered. World Vision believes children are the present, not just the future! #health #endhunger #WorldVision
