Improved WASH Governance and Financing to Reach Universal Coverage in Indonesia
With the introduction of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, World Vision in Indonesia has taken collaborative and bold steps with the government of Indonesia and other development partners to actively work toward achieving the ambitious targets for universal and equitable access to WASH services for all by 2030. World Vision supports government ministries to develop policies, national guidelines, and other WASH-related learning modules and tools, as well as facilitating advocacy events and trainings to improve WASH access.'
Given sector-wide challenges with the long-term functionality of rural and small-town water supply services, World Vision has doubled-down on strengthening management systems. World Vision, with a focus on sustainability, empowers, trains, and strengthens water committees in matters of community organization and participation, administration (payment of fees), operation and maintenance of the water systems, and protection of microwatersheds, with the objective that the water committee will manage, operate, and maintain the water systems independently.

La Soledad: The Church for Migrants in Mexico City
In the heart of Mexico City, next to the iconic yet challenging neighborhood of Tepito, lies La Soledad shelter, a sanctuary for hundreds of migrants from various corners of the world. This sanctuary offers more than just a place to rest; it provides sustenance, medical assistance, legal guidance, and refuge for those migrating towards the United States.
Among its occupants are over 400 individuals residing in tents on the plaza adjacent to the sanctuary. Their hopes are pinned on a text message that will tell them if they have been admitted to the asylum program offered by the United States. However, behind the daily routines and acts of solidarity lies the dilemma of migrant children and adolescents who make their way to this site. Organizations such as World Vision Mexico and UNICEF have joined forces to address these pressing needs, implementing Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives to safeguard health and well-being.
The stories of families like Luzmar and Yesmelis serve as reminders of the trials in search of a better future. From the jungles of Darien to the bustling streets of Mexico City, their odyssey is marked by resilience. Despite setbacks and uncertainties, their determination remains steadfast, fueled by the dream of a safer tomorrow for their children.
