Annual Review

In many ways, 2022 was a hard reset for the entire world. It was the year COVID-19 restrictions were finally lifted on a global scale and life as we knew it began afresh. The relief we all felt was great, but the lasting impacts the pandemic left behind will be felt for years to come.

Nevertheless, the work of World Vision persisted, and despite the ups and downs we faced, one thing that rarely wavered was your loving support for vulnerable children and families. For so many people whose lives and livelihoods had been damaged by lockdowns – you gave them the fresh start they needed.

Here is a quick highlight reel of how your support made all the difference in 2022:

54,244 children were supported through Child Sponsorship

7,394 children learned literacy and numeracy

21,905 children participated in children’s clubs

14,889 people have clean water in their communities

19,384 savings group members were participating actively

1,628.68 metric tons of food assistance were distributed through the Ukraine Crisis Response

RM571,547.32 was raised for children and communities through the 30-Hour Famine

RM547,448 worth of life-changing gifts were delivered through Gifts of Hope

These barely scratch the surface of what you helped us accomplish, or all the ways you partnered and participated with us – whether it was celebrating our 25th Anniversary or hitting the streets to run for the 42 rights of children. That’s why the World Vision Malaysia Annual Review 2022 is packed with facts, success stories, and snapshots – a comprehensive guide to the impact you made.

Want to get the full picture? Read the Annual Review for yourself and discover the world you helped build! We hope that it’ll encourage and inspire you as we continue to help children find bright new beginnings.
