#HolidayGiftGuide - World Vision #Giveaway

Have you heard of World Vision?

I hate to admit it, but I haven't... and they have been around since 1950.

From their site:

Who we are
World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.

Who we serve
We serve close to 100 million people in nearly 100 countries around the world. World Vision serves all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender.

Reflecting Christ in each community

Today, You have the chance to win

Wherever we work, our prayer is that our efforts will be used by God to heal and strengthen people’s relationships with Him and with one another. We do this by demonstrating God’s unconditional love for all people through our service to the poor — which includes providing for daily needs, working to build peace and promote justice, and partnering with churches and individuals to encourage spiritual transformation.

Meeting diverse needs

The millions of people we serve include earthquake and hurricane survivors, abandoned and exploited children, survivors of famine and civil war, refugees, and children and families in communities devastated by AIDS in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Our extensive global infrastructure enables us to respond where the need is greatest, anywhere in the world.

Trusted worldwide

The excellence of World Vision’s work has earned the trust of more than 3 million donors, supporters, and volunteers; more than half a million child sponsors; thousands of churches; hundreds of corporations; and government agencies in the United States and around the world. We are thankful to God that through these collaborative efforts, we are able to be a part of breaking the cycle of poverty for those in need in our world. World Vision allows you to give more than you will ever really realize. A $100 donation : A goat and two chickens Goats nourish hungry children and families with healthy milk, cheese, and yogurt.

For $48 donation: Feed a Family in of 3 in the USA Here in the U.S., 1 in 5 children lives in poverty.

Send Family Food Kits including nutritious meals like oatmeal, lentil soup or pasta, and a bean and rice casserole For $50 donation: $550 worth of school supplies Studies show that an education is key to overcoming poverty. But many schools in developing countries are dilapidated and lack resources, making the learning environment both unsafe and unproductive for students.
