Journée mondiale de l’aide humanitaire 2025 : World Vision appelle à la protection des humanitaires, au financement, à la sécurité et la dignité des enfants touchés par les crises en Afrique de l’Ouest et dans le monde.

Isabel Gomes, Global Lead for Disaster Management at World Vision International, reflects on the evolving and increasingly perilous landscape of humanitarian work. Marking World Humanitarian Day 2025, she urges the global community to move beyond symbolic recognition and toward accountability and protection for aid workers and the communities they serve.

In 2024, the intertwined challenges of conflict, climate change, and economic uncertainty continued to heighten vulnerability for children and families across West and Central Africa. Yet, by God’s grace and through collective action, World Vision reached more than 13.9 million people with life-saving and sustainable support. Discover our impact.

At World Vision, we believe every child has a right to education and that education can protect and support children affected by crises. Our framework focuses on providing inclusive, quality education during emergencies by integrating protection, health, and other services to help children learn, recover, and build resilience – especially for vulnerable and displaced children.

Dr. Lesly Margel Michaud underscores the urgent need for coordinated action to safeguard children in Haiti, drawing attention to the profound consequences of violence, displacement, trauma and systemic neglect. He calls on all stakeholders—local, national, and international—to step up and prioritise child protection as a shared responsibility.
