La Soledad: The Church for Migrants in Mexico City
In the heart of Mexico City, next to the iconic yet challenging neighborhood of Tepito, lies La Soledad shelter, a sanctuary for hundreds of migrants from various corners of the world. This sanctuary offers more than just a place to rest; it provides sustenance, medical assistance, legal guidance, and refuge for those migrating towards the United States.
Among its occupants are over 400 individuals residing in tents on the plaza adjacent to the sanctuary. Their hopes are pinned on a text message that will tell them if they have been admitted to the asylum program offered by the United States. However, behind the daily routines and acts of solidarity lies the dilemma of migrant children and adolescents who make their way to this site. Organizations such as World Vision Mexico and UNICEF have joined forces to address these pressing needs, implementing Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives to safeguard health and well-being.
The stories of families like Luzmar and Yesmelis serve as reminders of the trials in search of a better future. From the jungles of Darien to the bustling streets of Mexico City, their odyssey is marked by resilience. Despite setbacks and uncertainties, their determination remains steadfast, fueled by the dream of a safer tomorrow for their children.

Universal Access to WASH in Rwanda
Over the past two decades, water service coverage levels have been steadily increasing in Rwanda, though significant gaps remain in many rural communities. In 2018, World Vision committed to reaching 1 million people with access to clean drinking water with the goal of reaching everyone in the areas World Vision works in Rwanda by 2023, through scaling up programming in Rwanda’s most underserved areas. Through the collective effort of a government-led network of actors, achievement of universal water coverage in the 39 sectors (sub-districts) prioritised by World Vision was achieved in 2023.

But the journey was not easy for Fatouma. There were lots of obstacles, difficulties, and suffering. She keeps much of the pain to herself, alongside which is her bittersweet feeling of having overcome, throughout life’s long journey.
