WASH in Fragile Contexts Project Summary
A fragile context is a geographic area where political and social pressures make people vulnerable to conflict and fracture institutions that should protect them. It is often characterised by violence and instability that impact social, political, and economic life. Additionally, fragile contexts face environmental challenges and climate change such as recurring natural disasters, flooding, or drought.
This project aims to document how to deliver high-quality WASH services in fragile contexts and to assess short-term and longer-term effects of high levels of coverage of these WASH services on fragility, vulnerability, and resilience. These projects are being implemented in Bangladesh, Burundi, and Mozambique, each facing a unique combination of fragility ranging from remote cyclone-prone hilly regions in Bangladesh, to extremely low-income drought-and-flood affected districts in Mozambique. This diversity of location allows World Vision to better document and demonstrate the impact of focused programming within the project itself, as well as translate these learnings to improve WASH implementation in other fragile contexts for both World Vision and the broader sector.

Price Shocks: Economic gains masking a growing hunger and malnutrition crisis
World Vision's annual price survey analyses global food prices over the past three years. This Price Shocks report is a continuation of our 2021 and 2022 studies with findings showing a slight dip in the highest costs of living for some while others remain at previously marked crisis levels. This year's findings continue to underscore the uneven recovery from the socioeconomic shocks from COVID-19, inflation, and extreme weather and indicates a disparity of food prices, both in the current cost of the basket of 10 common food items and in the year-on-year comparisons. We provide insight into the year-on-year changes and share recommendations on mitigation for various audiences.

La Soledad: La iglesia de los Migrantes en Ciudad de México
En el corazón de la Ciudad de México, junto al icónico pero desafiante barrio de Tepito, se encuentra el refugio La Soledad, un santuario para cientos de migrantes de diversos rincones del mundo. Este santuario ofrece más que un lugar para descansar; brinda sustento, ayuda médica, orientación legal y refugio para las personas que están migrando hacia Estados Unidos.
Entre sus ocupantes se encuentran más de 400 personas que residen en tiendas de campaña en la plaza adyacente al santuario. Sus esperanzas están a la espera de un mensaje de texto que les dirá si han sido admitidas al programa de asilo que ofrece Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, detrás de las rutinas diarias y los actos de solidaridad hay el dilema de las niñas, niños, adolescentes migrantes que llegan hasta este sitio. Organizaciones como World Vision México y UNICEF se han unido para abordar estas necesidades apremiantes, implementando iniciativas de Agua, Saneamiento e Higiene (WASH) para resguardar la salud y el bienestar.
Las historias de familias como las de Luzmar y Yesmelis sirven como recordatorios de las pruebas en busca de un futuro mejor. Desde las selvas de Darién hasta las bulliciosas calles de la Ciudad de México, su odisea está marcada por la resistencia. A pesar de los contratiempos e incertidumbres, su determinación permanece firme, alimentada por el sueño de un mañana más seguro para sus hijos.
