From earthquakes to landslides, Nanda Budha reflects on leading humanitarian responses and standing with communities in crisis.

World Vision assessed the situation and rehabilitated the borehole through the funding of the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO) Project as they saw the urgent needs of the community. The new borehole was built above ground level so it would be protected from contamination and accessible at all times of the year, as the Mangar-Tong area is affected by seasonal flooding.

As funding dwindles, needs are outpacing resources in Somalia. Some locations are already showing famine conditions as humanitarian organisations scale down or close operations.

Having lived through the 2015 earthquake himself, Surendra Ratna Shakya has dedicated his career to supporting vulnerable children and families through crisis and recovery.

Golden light kissed shattered homes where memories slept beneath the mud. A red teddy bear lay silent in the ruins, carrying the echoes of childhood dreams swept away by the flood. I lost a shoe to the sludge, but thousands lost their homes, their safety, and the ordinary tomorrows they once imagined. Yet resilience rose like a river reed through the silt, bending beneath the torrent but refusing to break, as Bimala, a mother of a sponsored child, walked forward with quiet courage. And above the wreckage, hope stood like sunlight after rain, stubborn as a seedling pushing through stone, refusing to be washed away.

Not all stories make the headlines. Through conversations with children and communities affected by crises, Binod Thapa Magar reflects on the moments that continue to shape his journey as a humanitarian storyteller.

GAKURU’s story illustrates the devastating impact of conflict and displacement on children facing malnutrition in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. After recovering from severe acute malnutrition with support from World Vision, two-year-old GAKURU was forced to flee with his family when violence swept through his village, leading to a relapse. Through continued nutritional support and follow-up care, he eventually recovered. His journey highlights the resilience of children and families living through crisis, while showing how World Vision’s Nexus Accelerator Fund continues to provide life-saving nutrition support in hard-to-reach and conflict-affected communities.

A group of driven young people in Nyanza — a commune in southern Burundi known for its oil palm — is rewriting challenges into opportunities. Trained by World Vision in business planning, organizational management, and mindset change, sixteen youths came together to form the Multiproduction Cooperative. Their mission: to transform residues left after palm oil processing into eco-friendly charcoal.
