Lusaka, Zambia – Thursday, July 16, 2026: World Vision Zambia welcomes the launch of the National Food and Nutrition Security Policy by the Office of the Vice President, a major step toward addressing child hunger, malnutrition and food insecurity across Zambia. The policy shows the Government's commitment to building a Zambia where every citizen has access to adequate, safe and nutritious food, and where all forms of malnutrition are eliminated.

When a child is hungry, it is difficult to expect them to thrive in school. Muhodari, 16, was on the verge of seeing his education disrupted as food rations in refugee camps were reduced due to global funding constraints. Like many families in Musenyi Refugee Site, where he lives, his family struggles to meet their basic needs while ensuring that their children remain in school. Despite these hardships, a beacon of hope shines through the school feeding programme at Muhodari’s school. Funded by the World Food Programme (WFP) and implemented by World Vision, the school canteen provides hot lunches to students every day. The programme has become a lifeline for many children, helping them stay in school and reducing the risk of dropout.

In Central Kasai, World Vision's chronic malnutrition prevention project is helping families improve child nutrition through sustainable agriculture and livelihoods. With support from KOICA and WFP, households are adopting market gardening and rabbit farming to increase access to nutritious foods, diversify diets, generate income, and build resilience. The initiative is contributing to healthier children, stronger families, and lasting community change.
