Homeless Shelter

68.5 million children and families have been forcibly displaced from their homes. These are the largest numbers of refugees and displaced people since World War II. The vast majority of them come from “fragile states”, where families and communities are affected by disasters, economic crises, conflict, and social upheaval. By 2030, an estimated 80% of the world’s extreme poor (living on less than $1.90 a day) will live in these fragile places with weak governance and disrupted public services, like education, health, and clean water. World Vision has worked in fragile states for over three decades to provide life-saving support and durable solutions for the world’s most vulnerable children.
