A number of other agencies and organisations have assisted and supported Bible Society with The Poverty and Justice Bible. Below is a selection of our partners and supporters. Please take time to discover what they do and how you can get involved with supporting God's heart with practical action.
World Vision
World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation dedicated
to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.
Motivated by faith in Jesus Christ, World Vision serves alongside the poor and
oppressed as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love for all people.
World Vision works to change the root causes of poverty through campaigning, church partnerships, education and influencing policy makers. In whatever they do, they place a special emphasis on ensuring the needs and rights of children are met, because they are often the hardest hit by conflict, disaster and chronic poverty.
