Celebrating Semi-Annual Achievements

In 2024, World Vision's Disaster Management reached over 35 million people, including 19 million children.

Asia-Pacific is the most climate-exposed and disaster-prone region in the world. As many as 65% of children in East Asia are exposed to multiple shocks which are becoming increasingly frequent, especially flooding, drought, saltwater inundation, and climate-related diseases. Children and families living in poverty are particularly vulnerable, bearing the brunt of these recurrent crises and their longterm consequences.

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.
