When conflict in Malakal destroyed John Tuk Awi’s business, he lost everything — his income, his stability, and the future he had been building for his family. Years later, the Empowered Worldview program helped him rediscover hope and the confidence to rebuild his life.

Fatim, a mother of six, fled armed violence in Torou and now rebuilds her life in Koro. She supports her family by pounding millet, doing laundry, and selling gravel, while her husband receives medical care and her eldest son works in artisanal gold mining.

Famine is not a natural disaster and can be prevented. Across the world’s hunger hotspots, early warnings are clear, yet governments continue to act too late – or not at all. Conflict, blockades, and the denial of humanitarian access, not food scarcity, are driving a deepening hunger crisis, with children suffering first and longest. As aid budgets are cut, the gap between need and response is widening fast. This is a false economy: preventing famine costs far less than responding once lives are already lost. World Vision warns famine can be predicted and prevented – but only if leaders act early, protect civilians, and put children at the centre of hunger prevention.
