Menstrual poverty remains one of the most critical, yet often unseen, barriers to girls’ education in Zambia. For many young women, especially in rural areas, the inability to afford basic sanitary products or access clean facilities leads to shame, fear, and chronic absenteeism. The Ministry of Education's data reveals the devastating educational cost: inadequate Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) causes Zambian girls to miss at least 36 days of classes per year, disrupting their studies and contributing to the low completion rates, with 44% of girls dropping out before finishing secondary school.

FY25 was a year of hard choices and courageous leadership. In the face of escalating global crises, we responded to 108 emergencies, reaching nearly 36 million people—including over 18 million children—with life-saving food, cash, health care, education, and protection. Determined to do more with less, we reimagined humanitarian operations, driving cost-efficiency and resilience while embracing digital transformation. Artificial intelligence and automation helped reinvest savings into communities, even as funding tightened. We strengthened the sector through training and surge capacity, deepened partnerships to champion child-focused humanitarian action, and pushed for a Humanitarian Reset—an aid system that is decentralised, inclusive, and accountable. In the world’s most fragile contexts, we proved that children can thrive when compassion meets purpose. FY25 wasn’t just about responding to crises—it was about shaping the future of humanitarian action.
