In Munuki Payam, Juba County, where hardship often hides behind closed doors, one woman is quietly transforming her community. As a volunteer with World Vision’s Child-Friendly Space, Mary Laku is reaching the most vulnerable—supporting women in crisis, and ensuring children are not left behind. Grounded in her own life experiences, her work is restoring dignity, strengthening families, and challenging harmful norms.

At the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week (HNPW) 2026, World Vision demonstrated how child-centred, evidence-driven approaches can deliver greater impact, efficiency, and resilience at a moment when humanitarian needs are rising and resources are under intense strain. Across seven high-impact sessions, in partnership with UN agencies like WFP, FAO, clusters and networks like School Meals Coalition, Food Security Cluster and the Cash Learning and Partnership (CALP) Network, World Vision representatives helped shape global conversations on the Humanitarian Reset, bringing practical field experience, strong partnerships, and a clear focus on outcomes for children and communities.

Children in Nyawa District, Southern Province, continue to face risks of violence, neglect, and limited access to safe, child-friendly reporting systems, challenges that are often worsened when their perspectives are not included in community decision-making. To address this, World Vision Zambia facilitated a multi-stakeholder meeting at the Nyawa Palace, bringing together children, civic leaders, men, and women to collaboratively develop Child-Protection By-Laws.

No child should face hunger. Karabo’s story shows how World Vision’s ENOUGH Campaign is protecting vulnerable families and restoring childhood hope.

World Vision partners with faith actors to improve child well-being, strengthen families, build resilience, and reduce harmful norms in vulnerable communities.

Children are at the heart of everything we do, their voices, dreams, and well-being drive our mission.  We are excited to share that amid the ever-growing humanitarian needs we reached 16.4 Million children in the East Africa Region.

In Zambezia Province, rising malaria cases threaten families like Samuel and Carolina’s, with over 311,000 cases recorded in Mocuba District in 2025 alone. Through a Global Fund–supported insecticide-treated nets campaign, led by World Vision and partners, millions of mosquito nets are being distributed across Mozambique, protecting children, supporting pregnant women, and giving families renewed hope for a healthier future.

This policy brief introduces the ENOUGH Campaign in East Africa and invites you to be part of a practical response rooted in bold hope to end child hunger and malnutrition. It explains the challenge clearly, highlights what is working, and sets out actions that governments, donors, businesses, civil society, communities and friends of children can take together. The goal is simple and urgent: to make sure every child has ENOUGH of the right food to grow well, learn in school and thrive.
