To commemorate International Environment Day 2026, World Vision DRC’s Kinshasa Cluster brought together local authorities, schools, and community members in Ngandu, Kimbanseke, to promote environmental protection and climate action. Through awareness sessions, waste management demonstrations, tree-planting activities, and the distribution of waste bins to schools, the event highlighted the crucial role of children and communities in building a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future for generations to come.

World Vision Malawi has improved access to clean water at Carmushka Primary School in Phalombe through the construction of a borehole that is benefiting 896 learners. For years, pupils depended on a single community water source which led to long queues and delayed lesson time, affecting learning and school routines. With the new borehole now within the school premises, learners are spending less time fetching water and more time in class, while hygiene conditions have significantly improved.

Ten-year-old Ayen walks daily to the Sobat River in Anackdiar Payam, where her family, displaced by conflict, relies on unsafe water for all basic needs. The contaminated river water especially during floods causes frequent illness, leaving Ayen often too weak to play. Her mother, Nyajuma, worries as sickness becomes routine for their children. Despite hardship, the community remains resilient but exhausted. Hope is emerging through a World Vision WASH project funded by the South Sudan Humanitarian Fund, which will provide safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services. For families like Ayen’s, access to clean water offers a chance for health, dignity, and a better future.

Mayibongwe’s access to clean water is transforming his family’s future. With reliable water sources, they are now growing food, improving their health, and creating income opportunities that are building resilience and hope for a better tomorrow.

Beyond generating income, the project is providing young people with opportunities to learn, work together, and build confidence.
