In a world facing all kinds of challenges and uncertainties, resilience is key to a thriving future. But it will take all of us — advocates, leaders, and policymakers — working together to help ensure children, families, and communities have the tools and opportunities to build stronger futures.
Join us October 26–28 in Washington, D.C., to see how families and communities are creating sustainable solutions that, with the right support, will equip them to thrive for generations to come. Connect with fellow World Vision Advocates, hear from leading experts, and use your voice to make an impact on Capitol Hill.
Now, more than ever, we must stand together — emboldened by Jesus’ example and ready to put our faith into action. Together we can help shape a more just and resilient world.
