The international organisation World Vision is helping more than 100 million people through its various development, humanitarian and emergency relief programmes. They are dedicated to working with children and families to overcome extreme poverty and injustice through their various programmes, and continue to do so during this pandemic. We catch up with World Vision Malaysia CEO Daniel Boey, about how the organisation is weathering this pandemic, and how they are working on innovative programmes including the "Chosen" programme, where a child chooses their sponsor, instead of the other way around.
