We heard about the work of World Vision from one of their Ambassadors, Sue Tinney.<\/p>\n
She explained that after her husband heard about their work in a radio news bulletin he was so impressed they had to get involved.\u00a0 Sue has been to visit projects in Senegal, and told stories about projects around the theme of empowering women and girls.\u00a0 World Vision is a children’s charity, aiming to “put children at the heart of international development plans”.\u00a0 All their work supports Sustainable Development Goal 5: gender equality.<\/p>\n
Their projects include setting up advocacy workshops, helping to give women and children a forum for voicing their concerns, and providing information about human rights and responsibilities.\u00a0 They sponsor women’s groups, such as a financial cooperative among market traders in Senegal, and another making papaya jam and fruit juice for sale.\u00a0 In Bangladesh a ‘Men Care’ project has been set up to ensure husbands better understand their impact on their wives’ and children’s lives.\u00a0 The charity is working in 100 countries throughout the third world.<\/p>\n
