World Vision

This is not AI-generated; it's our exit strategy that's built into our community development programmes. We partner with partners and organisations so that communities will become strong enough and resilient enough to stand on their own feet. Kisongo-Makuyuni Area Programme in Tanzania is a prime example. After 21 years, the community 'graduated' from World Vision's child sponsorship programme. Not because the work failed, but because the community is thriving! Children are healthier and safer, more boys and girls are in school, and families have stronger livelihoods and better access to water, health care, and education.

Good news rarely goes viral, so we rounded up a few ourselves. Watching the news, it's easy to drown in the doom and gloom of current events. But real progress is taking place, too, just quietly. This past month, we saw: - promising solar technology that won an international design competition - a new initiative in the fight against child labour - young people gaining skills to improve their food security - a skills training programme with a 95% employment rate - solar powered cooking/baking classes that's also providing school meals Swipe through all five stories, then tell us: which one stood out to you, and why?

"Who knows better what a school meal means than the children who eat them every day?” A 15-year-old asked this question and it challenges more than it seems. Because in many systems, children’s voices are still treated as stories. Not as evidence. Yet what children describe goes beyond personal experience. It highlights gaps in policy, design, and delivery things that data alone often misses. Across the ENOUGH Campaign, children are not just sharing perspectives. They are generating insights that are shaping advocacy, informing programmes, and influencing policy decisions. The question is no longer whether children should be included. It’s whether systems are ready to act on what they are already saying. Because participation without influence isn’t meaningful and listening without accountability doesn’t lead to change. What this reflection from Loredana Giuglea and Ariel Dawal makes clear is that we need to move: from consultation ➡️ to evidence from inclusio ➡️ to accountability Because children’s voices are not anecdotal, they are a critical part of how we understand and respond to hunger, climate and inequality.

Football has a unique way of bringing people together. In South Sudan, it's also helping children find moments of connection, joy, and normality amid the challenges of conflict, displacement, and hunger. Hear from Andrew Morley, our WVI president and CEO and Moses Phillip Sakondo, World Vision's communications colleague in Juba, as he shares what children are telling us about the game they love and the hopes they carry for the future.

Contrary to popular belief, sponsoring a child doesn't connect you to just your sponsored child. Instead, with child sponsorship, you become a partner of their family and their community. Because of our community-focused approach, for every child sponsored, four more children benefit, too. This is why child sponsorship is our main strategy to help families overcome poverty. If you've ever wondered these questions: ❓What is child sponsorship? ❓How does child sponsorship work? ❓Why sponsor a child through World Vision? ... then swipe through for the answers. What question did you have before you first sponsored a child, or before you gave to any cause? And what finally answered it?

Our child sponsorship math doesn't add up... Or does it? 🤔 Through our community-based approach, when one child is sponsored through World Vision, four other children benefit. Ultimately, the impact of child sponsorship goes far beyond each sponsored child. 🧡 From helping children grow up safe and healthy to supporting families and strengthening communities, sponsorship creates lasting change that reaches far and wide.
