About World Vision Timor Leste (East Timor)
World Vision Timor Leste (WVTL) began its first project in 1995 with an Area Development Program (ADP) in Aileu District, under the auspices of World Vision Indonesia.

In September 1999, World Vision opened its Dili Office, and was a prominent agency in the emergency relief effort to rebuild Timor Leste.
