In 2018, Danita was at a crossroads. Her youngest child was heading to college, and she wondered what was next as an empty-nester. One Sunday at her church, Team World Vision staff shared about clean water and the impact it could have, especially on the lives of children around the world.

Danita, who describes herself as “not a runner,” stepped out in faith and signed up to run the Indy Monumental Half Marathon with Team World Vision. She says, “You need to trust God and not be afraid to step into whatever He’s calling you to do.”

At a time when human suffering and global need are soaring, World Vision is disappointed that the U.S. government’s fiscal year 2024 funding package does not provide the critical resources needed to aid children and families around the world. “We believe all children deserve opportunities to pursue their God-given potential," stated World Vision President and CEO Edgar Sandoval Sr. “Reducing investment in development programs harms children today as well as generations to come. World Vision hopes that Congress works to restore these cuts as it considers FY25 appropriations in the coming months.” Read the full statement: https://bit.ly/49gI3E1

It's not just a bike. 🚲 It's freedom. It's a safe and speedy ride to school. And for Ian in Kenya, it's a symbol that people care about him. "When I was given this bicycle, I felt so, so good," he says.💙

Remember to pray for Syrians refugees.🙏

Since 2011, Syria’s civil war has sent more than half of the country’s population fleeing for safety. Many Syrian children don’t remember a peaceful life before the war. Lord, we lift to You our brothers and sisters in Christ living in this region. Strengthen them with power through the Spirit (Ephesians 3:16). And help them to endure and remain faithful, knowing that nothing can separate them from Your love. Amen

Alpacas give kids like Daniella in Ecuador a warm and fuzzy feeling! That's because each alpaca can produce up to 10 pounds of wool a year and lives about 20 years. That adds up to lasting joy AND lasting income for families🦙🤍

Clean water has never been more critical.💧

🙏 Join us in prayer for Haiti 🇭🇹 The current situation is dire, with 5.2 million people in need of humanitarian aid due to sociopolitical instability, gang violence, and a cholera epidemic.

Lord, in the midst of these mounting challenges, we come before you with hope, seeking strength, peace, and healing for this nation in turmoil. Our hearts ache for the innocent victims. We pray for their safety, comfort, and deliverance from fear, and for their physical needs to be met. Amen.

Here’s how to help: bit.ly/howtohelpWV

We believe ending extreme poverty is possible. But it won’t happen if half the people in the world are held back. As a leader in gender equality for decades, we integrate a gender lens into everything we do because we know that when women and girls gain equal access and opportunity:

- 👶 children are better cared for

- 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 families are stronger

- 🎉 communities are more prosperous

When you partner with us, you are truly helping to accelerate progress for women, girls, men, and boys! Join us on March 8, International Women’s Day, to rally behind the call to “Invest in women: Accelerate progress”. 🧡

Think of how graciously God treats us, foreigners living in this world. His kindness to us can guide our thoughts and actions toward those living as strangers among us🙏🧡

From barren fields to bountiful harvests, Hanaa's journey embodies resilience. As a single mother, she turned adversity into opportunity through participation in a farming training program. Investing in a water pump and learning proper agricultural techniques, she revived her farm and her life. Now, she's thriving, selling crops, and encouraging other women in her community to do the same. Hanaa's story reminds us that with determination, resources, and a support system, we can overcome any challenge! 🌾💪
