A summary of World Vision's commitments at the Nutrition for Growth Summit, held in Paris in March 2025

In many communities across Zambia, expectant mothers face an uphill battle in accessing the essential nutrients needed for a healthy pregnancy. Traditional antenatal care has long relied on iron and folic acid (IFA) supplements, but coverage gaps, sociocultural barriers, and adherence challenges have limited their effectiveness. This has left many pregnant and postpartum women vulnerable to micronutrient deficiencies, which can lead to complications such as anemia, low birth weight, and even maternal mortality.

Celebrating Semi-Annual Achievements

The Grow ENRICH Theory of Change aims to reduce maternal and child mortality in Kenya, Tanzania, and Somalia, improving health and nutrition for 658,339 individuals.

At the Nutrition for Growth summit in Paris, World Vision Afghanistan Advocacy Director, Mark Calder, spoke with Nadia Hashimi, a representative of the Afghan Civil Society Alliance for Food Security & Nutrition. Nadia was a featured speaker at the hashtag#N4G World Vision-facilitated event on "The Right to Food in Afghanistan." A powerful advocate for Afghan children, Nadia is on a mission to end malnutrition and ensure every child has access to proper nutrition. Her journey is deeply personal - she once was one of the at-risk children whose voices went unheard. Today, she speaks for them. Let’s amplify her message. Every child in Afghanistan deserves the right to food.
