Water is life! Easy access to clean and safe water protects children from waterborne diseases, eliminates the loss of education and play time spent collecting water, and contributes to their overall wellbeing.
It’s part of World Vision’s effort to ensure Afghan girls and boys enjoy this fundamental right. This effort contributes toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal #6: to ‘Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030.’

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.
