Every child deserves access to safe, nutritious food, yet millions across Africa face hunger and malnutrition due to conflict, climate shocks, and fragile food systems. Together, we must invest in resilient agriculture, empower communities, and ensure that nutrition is at the heart of food security strategies.

World Vision calls for urgent global support to protect over 1.4 million children in Lebanon facing hunger, trauma, and disrupted education.

Brikena Zogaj and Lilian Mumbi, World Vision Technical Experts, emphasise that hunger is not just a food issue but a protection crisis, especially for children who face exploitation, early marriage, and displacement due to food insecurity. They highlight how integrating child protection into food aid programmes—such as those by World Vision—can safeguard children and improve long-term outcomes. The authors call on global actors to fund and prioritise child-focused, integrated approaches to ensure children are not only fed but also protected and empowered.

Fifteen-year-old Muslimo* never imagined her childhood would end this way. Once a hopeful student in Ethiopia, she now spends her days cooking, cleaning, and caring for her younger siblings in a displacement camp in Doolow, Somalia. Hunger has taken the place of learning.

Tropical Storm Melissa has triggered red alerts in southern Haiti, resulting in deadly landslides, flooding, and crop losses. Over 1.4 million people face food insecurity. Schools are closed, shelters are activated, and fishing is halted. World Vision is responding urgently to protect vulnerable families and restore livelihoods.

Farmers in Hudur, Southern Somalia, face severe drought and conflict, threatening their livelihoods. Ibrahim, a father of nine, struggled with poor crop yields and water scarcity. With support from World Vision’s Somali Nexus Accelerator Fund (NAF), he received drought-resistant seeds, agricultural training, and a solar-powered irrigation system. This transformed his farm, enabling consistent harvests, food security, and income for his family’s education. Ibrahim’s success story highlights the impact of sustainable farming solutions in conflict-affected regions.

In humanitarian crises, food security is often treated as a standalone goal. But World Vision is helping shift that paradigm — proving that protecting children must be central to how we feed, recover, and rebuild. Together with the Child Protection Area of Responsibility, the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, Plan International, and the Food Security Cluster, World Vision is setting a new standard: one where child well-being is not an afterthought, but a core outcome of humanitarian response.
