This article is a powerful story highlighting how a modest intervention, a personal plastic cup, greatly improved hygiene, hydration, and learning conditions in four schools in the Lualaba province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It recounts the longstanding lack of potable water at Amani Primary School in Mutshatsha and the transformative impact of a borehole installed in 2022, which gave over 1,600 students access to clean water. However, without drinking containers, students were still unable to hydrate safely and effectively. In early 2025, a donation of 3,625 plastic cups across four schools allowed students to drink water hygienically and comfortably. This simple addition significantly reduced water waste, improved hygiene, and helped students stay focused in class. The initiative, part of World Vision’s Gifts-In-Kind (GIK) program, illustrates the profound impact of addressing overlooked details in development work.

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.
