Integrating WASH into Rwanda’s Home-Grown School Feeding Programme boosts nutrition, attendance, and girls’ education. Learn why food alone is not enough.

Why School Meals Accountability Must Define the Future of Education and Social Protection

This policy brief introduces the ENOUGH Campaign in East Africa and invites you to be part of a practical response rooted in bold hope to end child hunger and malnutrition. It explains the challenge clearly, highlights what is working, and sets out actions that governments, donors, businesses, civil society, communities and friends of children can take together. The goal is simple and urgent: to make sure every child has ENOUGH of the right food to grow well, learn in school and thrive.

The increase in student attendance and attentiveness, combined with improvements in child nutrition, are benefits that the Government of Mozambique aims to replicate by expanding the National School Feeding Program (PRONAE). In partnership with PRONAE, World Vision Mozambique served over 5 million school meals in Nampula and Zambézia provinces during the last academic year.

Through a partnership between World Vision and the World Food Programme (WFP), school feeding programmes are helping children stay in school, stay nourished and stay protected. School meals are a proven investment in learning, resilience, and human capital, especially in humanitarian emergencies.

Children are at the heart of everything we do, their voices, dreams, and well-being drive our mission.  We are excited to share that amid the ever-growing humanitarian needs we reached 16.4 Million children in the East Africa Region.

No child should face hunger. Karabo’s story shows how World Vision’s ENOUGH Campaign is protecting vulnerable families and restoring childhood hope.

World Vision Lebanon is calling for urgent protection and support for children as expanding evacuation orders and escalating insecurity trigger a new wave of internal displacement across Lebanon. Since the first hours of the escalation, World Vision Lebanon has reached more than 57,000 people, including more than 20,000 children, with blankets, hot meals, family hygiene kits, and mattresses among other supplies. However, humanitarian needs are expected to continue rising in the coming days, with thousands of children likely to require psychosocial support and protection services.

World Vision Lebanon raises concern over renewed hostilities that have displaced more than 55,000 people. The organisation calls for civilian protection as children face heightened risks.
