Lebanon's crises since 2019: economic collapse, conflict, and displacement—have devastated lives. With Japan Platform, World Vision offers vital food aid to families like Fatima’s and Tarek’s, helping them survive and rebuild.

Citizen Voice and Action (CVA) is a transformative approach that empowers communities to actively participate in their development, fostering a sense of ownership and accountability. Through the CVA model, community members identify their pressing issues, engage with duty bearers such as government officials and service providers, and work collaboratively to find sustainable solutions. This process ensures that development efforts are community-driven, lasting, and truly responsive to local needs.

The Improving Food and Nutrition Security and Resilience of Vulnerable Farmers (IFNSR) Project

The World Vision Zambia Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Business Plan for 2026-2030, titled "Mapping the Blue Thread," outlines a comprehensive strategy to accelerate universal and equitable access to WASH services across 42 countries, with a significant focus on Zambia. The plan aims to improve health, well-being, and livelihoods by delivering adaptive WASH solutions. It emphasises deepening focus on vulnerable populations, demonstrating sustainable impact, and mobilising $1.5 billion globally, with $48 million planned for in-country investments in Zambia. This data-driven approach will enable country WASH teams to implement targeted, location-specific strategies for maximum impact and sustainability.

In the chilly mornings of Zambia’s cold season, children in rural areas often face a daunting challenge: attending school without the warmth and comfort they need to learn and thrive. At Kafululu Primary School in Chibombo District, this reality was a common struggle for many pupils. Most families in the area rely on subsistence farming, making warm school uniforms a luxury they simply cannot afford.

In Papua New Guinea’s Southern Highlands, the Nipa Kutubu WASH Project unites communities and partners to overcome water and sanitation challenges, fostering hope and sustainability.
