World Vision, a leading humanitarian organization dedicated to empowering people out of poverty, has chosen Validio, an automated data observability and quality platform, to ensure full trust in critical dashboards and donor data.

With operations in over 100 countries, World Vision focuses on providing essential services such as clean water, education, healthcare, and economic development to children and communities in need.

To effectively operate their array of programs, World Vision relies on accurate data to ensure efficient operations and informed decisions.

"Validio ensures that we can trust our data at every stage—from donor management to monitoring. With its automated data observability and comprehensive data lineage, we can trace the entire journey of our data, making sure each transformation is not only transparent but also reliable. This invaluable visibility helps us maintain the highest standards of data quality and strengthens our ability to govern, secure, and collaborate across teams. We are now confident that the decisions we're making are rooted in trustworthy data, which is essential in advancing World Vision’s mission to create meaningful, lasting change."

By integrating Validio's machine learning-powered data observability and quality platform, World Vision aims to:

Automate and improve data quality

WVC uses Validio to ensure data quality and gain actionable insights into its revenue numbers. Validio automates its existing data checks across donor management, pledges, and revenue tables, ensuring consistent and accurate data. This eliminates discrepancies from manual processes or system changes which affect table formats or donor information.

Ensure accuracy in donor information

The quality of their donor information is key. Validio automatically detects and flags duplicate, invalid or even malicious entries (like suspicious names or incomplete records), ensuring a reliable donor database without manual reviews.

Reliable metrics in executive dashboards

Validio's segmentation capabilities provide granular insights into revenue and donor behaviour. Automated checks track metrics like active supporters and acquired pledges, providing real-time insights into financial health and donor engagement. This enables WVC to quickly address dips in revenue or underperforming segments, resulting in accurate reporting and correct numbers in dashboards for the business.

Reduce manual work and improve data team productivity

DQ automation transforms their workflow from running manual SQL queries to an intelligent system that speeds up the work of their data team significantly.

"I appreciate how effortlessly Validio fits into our workflow. From connecting data sources to setting up validators—it just works! The seamless setup, minimal maintenance, and clear data flow have unlocked significant efficiencies for us. With less time spent on troubleshooting or managing complex processes, our data teams can now focus on driving more value, accelerating impact. And let’s not forget the exceptional customer care we receive—Validio’s team is always quick to respond, providing invaluable support and guidance whenever we need it. It's a game-changer, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with both the product and the partnership."

Melanie Charbonneau, Senior Manager, Data Governance & Analytics at World Vision

Patrik Liu Tran, CEO & Co-founder of Validio, commented,

"We are honored to support World Vision in their mission to make a tangible difference in the lives of millions worldwide. By ensuring the accuracy and reliability of critical donor and revenue data, Validio helps World Vision focus on driving meaningful change without being hindered by data quality challenges.”
