World Vision Kenya is a child-focused Christian humanitarian, relief, development, and advocacy non-governmental organization with projects in most parts of Kenya. We serve everyone regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender. In 2024 alone, we positively impacted over 4 million people, including 2.2 million children. World Vision Kenya has a two-tier governance structure consisting of a Board and an organizational membership.
