In a rapidly changing context shaped by sector‑wide disruptions and escalating border‑related conflict, World Vision Cambodia worked closely with government authorities, partners, communities, and donors to respond to urgent needs while sustaining long‑term development efforts.

Beyond emergency response, progress was achieved across education, child protection, WASH, nutrition, livelihoods, climate action, social accountability, and inclusive programming. The year also marked 55 years of World Vision’s long‑term commitment in Cambodia, reflecting sustained partnership and a shared vision for every child to experience life in all its fullness.
