World Vision Mali’s 2025 Annual Report highlights key achievements improving children’s lives through education, WASH, nutrition and humanitarian assistance.

In Narang, World Vision nutrition hearths equip displaced mothers with skills and local foods to prevent malnutrition and help children thrive.

While shrapnel and debris fall from the sky, families are forced to stay indoors around the clock — every aspect of their lives has been upended.

15 years after the Syria conflict began, millions of children are still paying the price. Renewed escalations in the Middle East threaten families already coping with hunger, displacement, and trauma. Today, over 7 million children in Syria need humanitarian assistance, and in 2025, World Vision Syria Response reached 2.5 million children with food, water, education, protection, and psychosocial support. Sustained international support is essential to meet the needs of Syria’s children and help them rebuild their lives after years of crisis.

International Women’s Day (IWD) 2026 calls for “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls.” (United Nations). In Sudan, South Sudan and Somalia, these words resonate in contexts where drought and conflict collide - driving displacement, hunger, and protection risks while stretching already fragile services for women and girls. As the Inter-Agency Working Group (IAWG), we issue this joint call to recognise and respond to the compounded realities facing women and girls across these crises.

Why meaningful progress for girls will depend not on declarations but on political discipline and sustained investment.

World Vision urgently calls on all parties to immediately de-escalate hostilities in the Middle East and work towards a lasting peaceful resolution.
