Nyanzi Martia, chairperson and Village Health Team coordinator of Mulagi village, shares a powerful testimony of transformation brought about by World Vision’s long-term support since the early 1990s. Through training in WASH, health, nutrition, livelihoods, kitchen gardening, and Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA), Martia helped establish kitchen gardens in schools, sensitized households, and formed over 30 savings groups that improved food security and household income. Before World Vision’s intervention, the parish struggled with poor sanitation and high rates of malaria and diarrhoea, but with Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) training, the community adopted better hygiene practices, built improved latrines, and introduced handwashing facilities, drastically reducing waterborne diseases.

This article highlights how the Rotary Healthy Communities Challenge (RHCC), implemented by World Vision in partnership with PATH and Rotary, is strengthening community health in Kasaï Province, DRC. By training and equipping community health relays with skills, handwashing kits, and bicycles, the project aims to reduce child mortality caused by malaria, acute respiratory infections, and diarrhoeal diseases. Through improved access to primary health care and a reinforced network of community health sites, the initiative seeks to protect more than 221,000 children under five in some of the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach areas.
