World Vision West Africa urges action to protect children from climate threats. On World Environment Day 2025, we spotlight youth leadership and sustainable solutions for a healthier future.

In 2024, we reached 17.9 million people, including 9.5 million children, and responded to over 16 emergencies across the region. From food security and health to protection and education, our work has brought tangible relief and hope to families affected by crisis.

In the district of Mutarara, in Tete province-Mozambique, children are raising their voices against one of the most urgent and persistent threats to their health and development: malnutrition.

After 11 years of presence, World Vision has stood alongside Iraq through its darkest days. We began our mission during the height of the 2014 conflict, delivering emergency aid amidst chaos and displacement. Today, as peace slowly takes root and families return home, our work has transformed—shifting from crisis response to rehabilitation, safe return, and now long-term development. Yet Iraq’s future is still fragile. Climate change threatens the land, millions of children are without access to clean water, and women continue to face deep-rooted inequality. Our mission is not over. Now more than ever, Iraq needs partners committed to lasting change.

This is the story of Riyad, 38, a Palestinian firefighter supporting some of the most vulnerable communities in the West Bank, and how World Vision supported his team so they have the tools they need.

Due to violence, restrictions on movements and forced displacement, Palestinian children are facing an education crisis. With support from the European Union, World Vision is responding. In February, the organization launched catch-up classes that have already reached approximately 3,000 children, including children displaced by violence in the north of the West Bank.

More than 44,000 people have been displaced in the north of the West Bank. Forced to leave their house, they are hosted by very vulnerable communities who are also struggling. To support them, World Vision is distributing food and essential items. This is the story of Fayez, 81 year-old, who was giving minutes to abandon his house.

Suha, a 30-year-old mother from Tulkarem Refugee Camp, never imagined she would be forced to flee her home with nothing but a few clothes for her five-year-old daughter. Thisis her story and how humanitarian aid is critical for thousands of families in the north of the West Bank.
