The Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) Business Plan for Zambia (2023–2033) outlines a comprehensive strategy to restore 2 million hectares of degraded land, contributing to climate resilience and improved livelihoods. World Vision Zambia aims to directly restore 600,000 hectares through community-based programming and catalyse broader adoption of FMNR practices to cover an additional 1.4 million hectares. FMNR is a cost-effective land restoration technique that involves the regeneration of native trees and shrubs from existing root systems or seeds. The plan highlights FMNR’s ability to improve soil fertility, water retention, biodiversity, and agricultural productivity, ultimately doubling crop yields and increasing income for farming families.

Menstrual hygiene remains a significant challenge for many girls and young women in Zambia and across many parts of the world. Limited access to affordable, hygienic menstrual products often leads to feelings of embarrassment, stigma, and even school absenteeism during periods. In some communities, cultural taboos and misinformation further compound the problem, making it difficult for girls to manage their menstruation with dignity and confidence. As a result, many girls miss out on crucial days of learning, affecting their education and overall well-being.

World Vision is equipping out of school youths with hands-on vocational skills such as carpentry, tailoring, motor cycle repairing, brick laying and more to help them become self-reliant and break the cycle of poverty.
