World Vision Lesotho hosts a landmark event uniting faith leaders and partners to advance environmental sustainability and climate action through spiritual resources.

This inspiring feature tells the story of Annie Mbayo, a pastor, mother of nine, and community leader from Kigoma, near Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Through World Vision’s Empowered World View (EWV) training, Annie learned to combine faith with practical planning, transforming her household and community. Once dependent on small-scale seedling sales, she developed her nine hectares into a productive farm, began pig rearing, expanded mango cultivation, and built a stable home, both a symbol and a result of her new vision. Guided by principles of stewardship, savings, and collective action, she also helped form a community savings group, inspiring other women and men to take similar steps toward self-reliance. Annie’s journey reflects the essence of the EWV approach, turning prayer into action, faith into work, and hope into sustainable change.

In the war-torn east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, thousands of children have been orphaned by ongoing massacres and left vulnerable to trauma and despair.

Stories like Isaac’s, who regained his voice after years of silence, show how hope and resilience are being rebuilt, even as the urgent needs of countless others remain.
