Monash University and World Vision study reveals how natural farming drives financial independence and climate resilience for women and their communities in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Families in Binodpur once walked miles for drinking water. Today, improved access to safe water is helping 110 Oraon families in northern Bangladesh live healthier lives.

In the peri‑urban neighborhoods of Riyad and Dar El Beida in Mauritania, access to safe drinking water has long been unreliable. To respond to this challenge, World Vision worked with local communities and its top ten private‑sector service providers to bring potable water directly into homes, and relieving the burden for 348 people.

In Mabalane, Mozambique, improved access to safe water is transforming lives, reducing long walks, restoring dignity, and creating new opportunities for families.

Explores why our sector has reached a critical inflection point and the role civil society should play in helping build better systems.

In southern Mozambique, emergency water systems restored by World Vision and UNICEF are providing safe water to over 22,000 people, protecting health and dignity.

How does natural farming dismantle gender barriers? This DFAT-funded study uses the "River of Life" tool to reveal how women in South Asia are moving from the margins to become primary decision-makers, overcoming the global polycrisis through localized leadership.

Where Water Flows, Equality Grows

On World Water Day 2026, East Asia stands at a critical crossroads. Climate change is transforming water, once a foundation of economic growth and social stability, into one of the region’s sharpest drivers of inequality. And this inequality is not evenly felt. It falls hardest on women and girls, children, persons with disabilities, and rural and marginalised communities whose access to safe water was already fragile.
