World Vision Ethiopia aims to restore 4.6M hectares by 2033 with FMNR, reviving ecosystems and improving lives through community-led action.

The Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) Business Plan for Zambia (2023–2033) outlines a comprehensive strategy to restore 2 million hectares of degraded land, contributing to climate resilience and improved livelihoods. World Vision Zambia aims to directly restore 600,000 hectares through community-based programming and catalyse broader adoption of FMNR practices to cover an additional 1.4 million hectares. FMNR is a cost-effective land restoration technique that involves the regeneration of native trees and shrubs from existing root systems or seeds. The plan highlights FMNR’s ability to improve soil fertility, water retention, biodiversity, and agricultural productivity, ultimately doubling crop yields and increasing income for farming families.

Menstrual hygiene remains a significant challenge for many girls and young women in Zambia and across many parts of the world. Limited access to affordable, hygienic menstrual products often leads to feelings of embarrassment, stigma, and even school absenteeism during periods.

As a result, many girls miss out on crucial days of learning, affecting their education and overall well-being.
