In the 2024 financial year, World Vision Zambia achieved remarkable progress in improving the well-being of vulnerable children and communities by strategically integrating Gifts In Kind (GIK) across key sectors. Through the distribution of essential items, including school furniture, medical supplies, bicycles, re-milled soap, clothing, and toys, the organisation has significantly enhanced education, health, hygiene, and mobility, while fostering resilience and long-term development across communities.

The Joining Forces Alliance is deeply alarmed by the rising cases of rape and defilement across the country. We are particularly disturbed by the fact that these heinous crimes are being committed by individuals entrusted with the duty to protect children. We commend the Government’s swift action to shut down one facility in Lusaka allegedly perpetrating child abuse and arresting perpetrators.

On 25 March 2025, WVI Nepal celebrated and shared our Fiscal Year 2024 achievements in presence of children, government representatives, media, our donors and peer organisations. In addition, we launched two major research reports on 'Online Safety among Children' and 'Knowledge, Attitude and Practices on Substance use among adolescents'.

At a press conference held on Monday in Lusaka, the alliance, comprised of six leading child-focused organizations, including Save the Children, World Vision Zambia, Plan International Zambia, Child Fund, SOS Children's Villages International, and Terre des Hommes International Federation, expressed deep concern over the rising cases of child sexual abuse. Reports indicate that children are increasingly being victimized in spaces meant to be safe havens, such as homes, schools, and orphanages.

In many communities across Zambia, expectant mothers face an uphill battle in accessing the essential nutrients needed for a healthy pregnancy. Traditional antenatal care has long relied on iron and folic acid (IFA) supplements, but coverage gaps, sociocultural barriers, and adherence challenges have limited their effectiveness. This has left many pregnant and postpartum women vulnerable to micronutrient deficiencies, which can lead to complications such as anemia, low birth weight, and even maternal mortality.
