When the Canadian government awarded World Vision a CAD $350,000 grant, it was more than a donation—it was a powerful affirmation of trust. For 68 years, World Vision Philippines has been a steadfast partner to Filipino children and families.

World Vision has spent 75 years walking alongside communities worldwide—with integrity, compassion, and a deep commitment to lasting change.

We understand that questions may arise—but the truth is clear: World Vision Philippines is a trusted and accountable humanitarian organization. It has been recognized by the Philippine government, global partners, and local communities for its integrity, transparency, and unwavering commitment to using every donation wisely and for the good of others.

Here’s why you can trust us:

1. We follow the highest standards of honesty and transparency.

World Vision is a certified and accredited humanitarian organization.

• Accredited by the Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC) and certified by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) as a donee institution, which means our donations are properly monitored and transparent.

• Registered, licensed, and accredited by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to conduct public solicitations and relief operations anywhere in the country.

• Compliant with the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS)—an international guideline that ensures quality and accountability in all our programs.

• Regularly audited by independent external auditors and guided by strict financial and safeguarding policies from World Vision International.

• On average, 86% of all funds go directly to programs that help children and communities, while only 14 percent is used for administration and fundraising—showing that we spend donations wisely and ethically.

2. We have a long record of real results.

For nearly seven decades, World Vision has been a steadfast partner of Filipino children and families—providing support through education, livelihood, health, and emergency response. From Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) to the COVID-19 pandemic, World Vision has consistently been at the forefront to help communities, delivering hope and practical assistance in times of crisis.

3. We are global in reach, but local at heart.

World Vision has been serving communities globally for 75 years, working in nearly 100 countries to bring hope and support to millions of children. In the Philippines, our mission is deeply local—led by Filipinos, for Filipinos. Our dedicated staff live and work within the communities we serve, ensuring that every program is rooted in local realities, responsive to real needs, and designed to create lasting, meaningful change.

4. We are a trusted partner.

The Canadian Government’s recent donation—its largest among several organizations—reflects a strong vote of confidence in World Vision’s integrity, impact, and results. Over the years, both global and local partners have consistently chosen to work with World Vision because they recognize our honesty, transparency, and unwavering commitment to every child’s future.

“Canada stands in solidarity with the Filipino people, especially in the aftermath of the recent disasters. In these difficult times, we need partners whose strong local presence, professionalism, and recognized track record can help ensure that Canada’s humanitarian support reaches those who need it most.” Canadian Ambassador David Hartman of the Embassy of Canada to the Philippines said.

Canada values its long-standing partnership with World Vision because of the organization’s deep roots in communities and its proven ability to deliver life-saving assistance quickly and effectively”, he further added.

5. We always put children first.

Everything we do is driven by one goal: to make life better for the most vulnerable children. World Vision Philippines ensures that every peso and every project is directed toward that mission—with compassion, transparency, and deep accountability.

“For 68 years, World Vision Philippines’ integrity has been our foundation,” said National Director Herbert Carpio.

“We operate with utmost transparency and absolute accountability, ensuring every resource serves its single, unwavering purpose: helping the most vulnerable children—especially in times of crisis”, he added.

World Vision Philippines will always serve with compassion and transparency. The trust of partners like the Government of Canada—and the continued support of the Filipino people—strengthens our resolve to do what is right, and to keep putting children at the heart of everything we do.
