Central African Republic Emergency Response 1032 - 31 July 2025

In the Dominican Republic, World Vision’s child-led school meals research—part of the SUFICIENTE campaign—amplifies children’s voices to improve nutrition programs through firsthand stories, data collection, and advocacy.

This article highlights the launch, in Kasaï Central, of an awareness campaign initiated by World Vision and its partners to ensure the unconditional return of all children to school. Running throughout September 2025, the initiative focuses on mobilising parents, community leaders, and local authorities, particularly in the areas of Tshikula and Tshimbulu where dropout rates remain worrying. Implemented under the Tudisange bua Kalasa mu Kasaï Central project with support from the European Union, the campaign includes awareness sessions, community dialogues, and mobilisation activities designed to remove barriers to schooling, especially for girls, and to promote inclusive and equitable education.

World Vision continues to advocate for climate resilience strategies that prioritise children and communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

why ignoring children’s input keeps school meal programmes from reaching their full potential.

As the Integrated Programme Director for World Vision Central African Republic, Stephen Carlos Ongom-WV had the privilege of our Paoua base in the northwest region from July 24 to 29, 2025. During this time, he engaged in a series of activities aimed at supporting refugees and host families facing significant challenges.

School meals are more than food on a plate. They have the potential to change how children relate to schools and serve as stimulus for a fulfilling learning journey and environment. Through the Partnering for Sustainable Education Outcomes (PARES), World Vision – Mozambique and consortium partners provide daily school meals to over 85,000 students in 157 primary schools across Monapo and Meconta districts (Nampula province), and Milange district (Zambézia province).
