Key findings

Early intervention and community care were crucial in saving young Délcio from severe malnutrition after a bout of malaria in northern Mozambique. A timely referral from a community volunteer to a World Vision-supported health committee connected his mother with vital nutrition education. Empowered with new knowledge, she transformed his diet, leading to his full recovery.

World Vision's Regreening Communities Project Model addresses climate change and environmental degradation by guiding communities through a participatory environmental restoration process. A tailored set of solutions is selected by each community including scaling-up indigenous restoration practices, strengthening government partnerships for restoration, and introducing proven practices like Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR).

In the 2024 financial year, World Vision Zambia achieved remarkable progress in improving the well-being of vulnerable children and communities by strategically integrating Gifts In Kind (GIK) across key sectors. Through the distribution of essential items, including school furniture, medical supplies, bicycles, re-milled soap, clothing, and toys, the organisation has significantly enhanced education, health, hygiene, and mobility, while fostering resilience and long-term development across communities.

Lives of children, families, and communities across Lesotho transformed through Gift-in-Kind impact boosting education, health, and child protection.

This article highlights the response to ongoing child malnutrition in Tshiyanda, where World Vision DRC has launched the Positive Deviance Hearth (PD Hearth) program, an intensive, community-based intervention focused on improving nutrition through 12-day educational sessions for caregivers and continuous support. With strong local participation and support from the Mutshatsha health zone, the program combines nutrition training, health monitoring, and income-generating initiatives to ensure sustainable improvements in child health. This initiative is part of the broader ENOUGH campaign, aiming to drive long-term behavioral change and food security.

The study will be cross-sectional, collecting and analyzing data from key beneficiaries (students, teachers, smallholder farmers, healthcare professionals, etc.) at a specific point in time.
