World Vision is a worldwide humanitarian, development and advocacy organisation that provides short-term and long-term assistance to more than 100 million people.

In the Australian Humanitarian Partnership (AHP), World Vision Australia is partnering with Habitat for Humanity Australia, Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), CBM Australia and Field Ready. Through the AHP, World Vision has received funds for humanitarian activities in South Sudan (nutrition, food security, WASH and protection activities) in response to the famine and in Nepal following the 2017 floods (WASH activities) and as part of the Sulawesi earthquake and tsunami response in Indonesia. Within the AHP Disaster READY program, World Vision is implementing preparedness activities regionally, in Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Timor-Leste.
