World Vision International (WVI) is committed to combating hunger and improving food security for vulnerable populations, with a strong focus on children, those most affected by food insecurity

Chiyumbabeenzu Health Post is staffed by one nurse, one psychosocial support officer, and two community health assistants. In Zambia’s Southern Province, they serve a community of over 3,000 residents, attending to up to 50 patients daily. For nearly a decade, the clinic operated without mechanised water. The handpump, which supplied water before World Vision intervened, was often broken, creating significant challenges, especially for expecting mothers.

For years, Nyandwi’s family endured the hardship of walking long distances daily to fetch water, leaving his children too exhausted for school and proper hygiene. This changed when World Vision, in partnership with the Government of Rwanda, installed a nearby water pump, bringing clean, accessible water to their community. The transformation was profound; his children could now attend school on time, focus on their studies, and live healthier lives. With water at home, Nyandwi also improved their nutrition, and life-changing for his family and community.

At Kanchomba Primary School in Hamaundu, Zambia, 19-year-old Jessica’s life has been dramatically transformed thanks to World Vision’s work in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Now in twelfth grade, Jessica recalls spending up to three hours each day fetching water. She would walk before school, at lunchtime, and again in the evening, often missing classes due to these lengthy trips.

World Vision Ghana and the World Vision African Union Liaison Office met with Ghana's Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection to reinforce shared commitment to gender equality and child protection in the country.

Bunda Bunda Health Post is overseen by Agnes Mweemba, a dedicated 30-year-old nurse with extensive experience at the facility, having started her service there in April 2017. Over the years, she has witnessed significant changes that have improved the quality of care and the working environment.
