As world leaders convene for the 80th United Nations General Assembly, debates on peace, development, and human rights are unfolding in real time.

Faiza Hassane, 15, lives in Guilladjé, Niger. Coming from a very poor family, she recounts the difficulties she experienced before World Vision arrived: food insecurity, lack of healthcare, school supplies, and her mother Zeinabou's economic dependence. The introduction of community savings groups was a turning point. Zeinabou, who became president of the "Wafakey 4" group, received training in cassava processing and a loan of 10,000 CFA francs. Thanks to her hard work, she launched a business processing cassava into gari, tapioca, and gum, reinforced by a modern kit donated by World Vision. Today, she is self-sufficient, trains other women, and participates in fairs. Faiza expresses her pride and gratitude to World Vision for giving her family hope.

Amanda Rives urges global action to fund school meals—lifelines for children in crisis zones—ensuring no child is left behind in safety, nutrition, and hope.

Zeinabou Agadogo, a 70-year-old mother living in Guiladjé, Niger, has long suffered from extreme poverty, exacerbated by food insecurity and climate change. Before World Vision's intervention, her family lived in extreme poverty, marked by the loss of a child to famine. Thanks to World Vision's donation of four goats, her life has radically changed: the goats have multiplied, allowing her to rebuild her hut, improve her family's diet, and regain her dignity. She expresses deep gratitude to the organization for transforming her life.

In many rural parts of Zambia, schools struggle just to get enough water. This causes big problems like poor sanitation, hygiene issues, and limited chances for farming or other activities that could help students and their communities. That is how things used to be at Kasamba Secondary School in Zambia.
