World Vision Process Aims to End Injustice and Poverty


A dental professional with over 40 years of experience, Sue Aber, DDS, supports the charity World Vision. Thanks to support from Sue Aber and others, World Vision is able to partner with families, children, and communities to fight injustice and poverty.

World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization established in 1950, focuses on helping people around the world as they overcome problems related to injustice and poverty. The goal is to bring fairness and equality to everyone through sustainable solutions.

To work with a community, a local World Vision representative asks questions of the community to learn which problems the community sees as most important. The World Vision team then works to resolve the cause of injustice and poverty with sustainable solutions like child protection, clean water, and economic development opportunities. Through this process, individuals in the community are directly involved and receive instruction in various approaches that can help their region. Between three and five years later, the team and communities look at the original plan to see how the goals are progressing. Through these efforts, World Vision intends to transform lives, communities, and the world.
