Simon, a 10 year old boy from Kisantu, struggled in silence because he could not read. After joining the RUTH Reading Club, he discovered a safe and supportive space where facilitators encouraged him step by step. Though he almost gave up, his facilitator personally came to bring him back, reminding him that he mattered. With patience and daily progress, Simon eventually read his first sentence, and everything changed. Now he reads and writes confidently and dreams of becoming a mechanic. He proudly thanks World Vision, the facilitators, and the sponsors for helping him succeed.

In DRC, World Vision is helping transform traditional gender roles through its Men Care approach, supported by Aktion Deutschland Hilft (ADH). The programme trains community facilitators who lead discussions with fathers on positive parenting, shared household responsibilities, girls’ education, and non-violent family relationships. In its first phase, 660 men from Nyangezi and Nyantende participated. The initiative is already producing visible changes in families, with many men becoming more involved in domestic tasks, communication, and childcare. By encouraging fathers to play a more active and supportive role at home, World Vision aims to strengthen families, reduce domestic tensions, and create safer, more nurturing environments for children.
