Great perks as a humanitiarian business. For believers in the God of the Bible, the idea that you are facilitating money, gifts, and frankly, love, to needy children, is wonderful! Safe drinking water where children have been dying from waterborne disease, food to refugees from wars, assistance to victims of natural disasters all over the globe give – more...  you a sense of importance and purpose.

I learned Excel , database handling, supervision of telemarketers during my near 11 years at World Vision. – less

Each day held profound moments; a regular occurrence working for a non-profit, Christian, humanitarian organization as far-reaching as World Vision. Every moment between sign-in & sign-out at my call-center computer station, I would receive donor calls, as well as make outbound calls to further communicate World Vision's international work & need for – more...  ongoing support. Being exposed to such a wide variety of ministries around the world, I received an INVALUABLE education about the realities of poverty & devastation occurring every day, and therefore the profound nature of the work completed by organizations like World Vision. Every applicant to any given department is considered with utmost care, therefore every co-worker was as, if not more passionate about our work. The most difficult part of the job was the knowledge of how monumental the need for financial support was/is in order to grow the ways the organization can help worldwide. Yet, because of the state of the US economy, it was both stressful & emotional to ask for donations from donors who were struggling to pay their heat & electric bills, let alone monthly donations.

World Vision was an extraordinary place to work, because every day I had confidence that my contribution was going toward funding/gathering supplies for truly-suffering people: children so long starved that their bodies were skin laid over tiny bones, building wells for communities whose people were dying of malaria & other curable diseases due to dirty water, giving those dying of HPV/AIDS the "luxury" of clean bandages & basic-care supplies, finding homes for orphans of parents claimed by AIDS, giving animals to families as both a food & business source...the list goes on and on.

Not a single day went by without my feeling emotionally exhausted, but supremely purposeful. – less

The overal mission and vision they possess is outstanding, but it can be difficult for your own employment permanency. They do great work across the globe and if you work for them, you should realize that it is a service to Christ, not to advance your own employment status
