Walking in Sabina's Shoes | World Vision

Beautiful story of what we do and why we do it

I'm so proud that I am now a youth ambassador of World Vision NL.

this is incredible, to see this in action is amazing. i will be sponsoring a child soon - hopefully i can make a difference to a community so they don't have to do this ever again!

Hi Caitlin. It's great that you are able to support other organizations who you trust. We always encourage people to make wise decisions with their money, including reviewing charities on Charity Navigator and learning more about their financial accountability. We don't believe that our employees make excessive salaries, and we take financial stewardship very seriously. For some more details, please visit "bit (dot) ly (slash) WVfinancial". -Jonathan, WV staff

Those are some good things to think about. World Vision uses a holistic community development model that helps communities tackle the root issues of poverty themselves. 97% of our staff are from the communities that we serve and we always work with the local leaders. We commit 10-15 years (depending on the situation and what is necessary) and tackle issues including clean water, health & hygiene, food, sanitation, education, economic development etc.

My observation, having watched many similar videos... is that the MEN control the village.... the MEN decide where the village is.... and it's the WOMEN who fetch the water. But then again... droughts are all across the world, so the water gets further and further away from villages, all over the world. But still, as the water gets further away, it's the women who still have to fetch it! And just so you know, i am a man.

Hi lolbandit. You might find that they can't in fact live next to the river as the land is already owned by someone else. There is a reason why traditionally the poorest people have lived furthest away from vital resources, the reason being they simply can't afford to rent or buy a place close by.

I think that we should not just throw our money at them and hope it makes a difference, we need to work together with these women/communities because we don't know what they want. we can't expect to learn everything from spending one day with Sabina

shame on me!...aww Im crying

WoW, this is a really enlightening video: Thank you for it. It helps me continue to rejoice in the privilege I have of sponsoring several children through World Vision Canada.

40 hour famine, giving up water :)

I would do anything to be able to work for World Vision and go to these places and help in any way I can

I want to help in any way I can

HARD LIFE

before there was feast and famine this is the way the world was 

Keep up the good work.

It would be good if I could share this on Facebook. 

That people have to go through so much just to get water is appalling, and very sad.

Indeed women dont need to walk all this distance to collect unsafe water.

We take it for granted to the things around us and especially the water.. be it running tap in our house sink or just wasting.. Very well narrated by the world vision women.. I wish God will use world vision in such a massive way that people like Sabina would get benefited. God Bless.

I appreciated this video so much that I signed up for  monthly contributions after I viewed it the first time. Thank you for the work you do, World Vision.

great documentary

I love the way you make my world vision bigger and more open !
Thanks a lot, you deserve the best !

What an example! And at home (Chile) how much water we waste.
