As a child-focused organization, WV’s work focuses on children, ensuring they are protected and their basic needs are met. WVV has a total income of around US$ 22,000,000 (FY21) with funding from 14 support countries in Europe, Asia, the Americas and Australia.

WVV’s AP usually focuses within one administrative district of a province which populated by ethnic minority people with high rates of poverty.
