2025 had been a challenging yet productive year for World Vision in South Sudan. Despite funding cuts and growing humanitarian needs, we pressed on—guided by our faith and our commitment to serve. The year had been a testament that when Christ is placed at the centre of our work, hope endures and impact is possible, even in the most difficult circumstances.

Juma Ignatius, Senior Policy Advisor, Climate Action and Disaster Risk Reduction, Disaster Management, brings our attention to the recent Mozambique floods that are often framed as natural disasters, but in reality, it is a story of global inequality, climate inaction and decades of neglect paid for by children who did nothing to cause the crisis. As emergency aid is repeated and preparedness is ignored, based on the negotiations within the UNFCCC spaces, Juma argues that without a shift to Disaster Risk Reduction, Anticipatory Action and climate-resilient development, disasters will continue to steal childhoods.

As the Ukraine Crisis Response enters its fifth year, the war continues to devastate millions of lives, particularly children.

This article highlights how 2,400 children in Bukanga Lonzo, Kwango Province, have officially received birth certificates thanks to advocacy efforts led by World Vision. Through its Citizen Voice and Action (CVA) approach, the organisation worked alongside local authorities, the civil registry and community partners to regularise the status of children who had never been registered at birth. The piece underscores the importance of legal identity as a gateway to fundamental rights, including access to education, healthcare and public services. It features testimonies from local leaders, judicial authorities and parents, illustrating both the legal significance and the emotional impact of receiving a birth certificate. Beyond celebrating the milestone, the article also raises awareness about the legal requirement to register children within 90 days of birth and calls for continued collaboration to ensure that every child is recognised, protected and given a fair start in life.
