In response to the humanitarian impacts of the Cambodia–Thailand border conflict, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), in partnership with World Vision International in Cambodia, has provided lifesaving psychosocial support and cash assistance to thousands of internally displaced families in Preah Vihear and Oddar Meanchey provinces. More than 14,470 displaced people—mostly women and children—received psychosocial care to help address trauma, distress, and uncertainty caused by displacement. Additionally, 1,300 vulnerable families received multi‑purpose cash assistance, allowing them to meet urgent needs such as food, healthcare, and shelter while restoring dignity and choice. Implemented through safety centres and in close coordination with local authorities and specialised partners, the response prioritised protection, equity, and accountability, demonstrating a people‑centred approach to rebuilding resilience and hope among families affected by the crisis.

In Ouallam, 39 community health workers support families daily despite insecurity and scarce resources. According to Souleymane Idrissa, head of the Ouallam health center, trainings provided through the “Strengthening access to care and epidemic control” project funded by World Health Organization and implemented by World Vision Niger and ISCV marked a major turning point. Health workers gained critical skills in managing gender-based violence, encouraging referrals, and supporting survivors, including access to psychological care. The project also strengthened disease surveillance through training on the minimum emergency activity package, enabling faster detection and reporting of measles, malaria, cholera, meningitis, and other serious illnesses, even in displaced persons sites. Long-serving relays like Seyni Seydou and Maimouna Birgui describe a deepened sense of purpose, improved knowledge, and stronger community trust. Beyond technical skills, the trainings enhanced awareness-raising, early care-seeking, and social cohesion. Today, community health workers in Ouallam act as true health sentinels, better equipped to prevent disease, respond to epidemics, and protect their communities.
