World Vision strengthened 879 CHWs to expand primary health care and improve maternal and child nutrition in fragile communities in Myanmar.

Learners at a primary school in Ntondozi say life has transformed since World Vision provided clean water. Before, classes were disrupted to fetch unsafe river water, causing sickness and missed school meals. Now, lessons continue without interruption, the school garden thrives, and children like Benkhosi and Seluleko are healthier and focused on their studies. The change reflects the wider impact of World Vision’s WASH Programme, which is improving health and dignity in communities across Eswatini.

On this World Children’s Day, we urge governments, regional bodies, civil society, private sector, and communities to join us in fortifying the mission on turning commitments into action. Let every child, not just today but every day, confidently say: “My Day, My Rights!” because every child matters and every right

World Vision Malawi mobilised CHWs to assess child nutrition and address malnutrition through school feeding programmes during food crises.

FY25 was a year of hard choices and courageous leadership. In the face of escalating global crises, we responded to 108 emergencies, reaching nearly 36 million people—including over 18 million children—with life-saving food, cash, health care, education, and protection. Determined to do more with less, we reimagined humanitarian operations, driving cost-efficiency and resilience while embracing digital transformation. Artificial intelligence and automation helped reinvest savings into communities, even as funding tightened. We strengthened the sector through training and surge capacity, deepened partnerships to champion child-focused humanitarian action, and pushed for a Humanitarian Reset—an aid system that is decentralised, inclusive, and accountable. In the world’s most fragile contexts, we proved that children can thrive when compassion meets purpose. FY25 wasn’t just about responding to crises—it was about shaping the future of humanitarian action.

On this World Children’s Day, let’s come together to celebrate the strength, creativity, and dreams of Palestinian children and to renew our commitment to protecting their most basic right: the right to simply be children. Together, let’s ensure that every child grows up in a world where they are safe, protected, and hopeful for a brighter tomorrow.
