Unaccompanied Syrian children in need of mental health support

MAPUTO, 17 December -- World Vision is planning to reach up to 75,000 people, particularly children, affected by Tropical Cyclone Chido in the provinces of Cabo Delgado and Nampula, in northern Mozambique. The organization urgently seeks US$1.2 million to provide critical assistance, including food, shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene, and protection. At least 27 people have died, and thousands have been displaced after losing their homes.

A Platform of Humanitarian Partners comprising humanitarian organizations World Vision Mozambique, Plan International, ADRA, and CARE, is aiming to assist more than 100,000 people stricken by Cyclone Chido in northern Mozambique.

Addressing land degradation is vital to World Vision's mission, as it directly impacts livelihoods, food security & resilience of vulnerable communities.

For Chipo Chapatarongo, a 48-year-old mother of seven in Makoma village, Nyanga North, fetching water was once a daily ordeal fraught with challenges.

The pandemic hit vulnerable families the hardest, including children, women, and people with disabilities. Many struggled with worsening economic and social conditions, leading to poor mental and physical health. Routine vaccinations dropped, and access to healthcare services became more difficult. To address these issues and support the recovery of public health, the organisation has launched its first major healthcare initiative, focusing on strengthening Georgia's health and child protection systems. Family doctors and social workers, were trained on key health topics such as immunisation, Hepatitis, HIV prevention, HPV, TB, and STDs.
