Maria Zita is a farmer from the remote community of Nkhondo, in southern Angola. She had to leave school in the 5th grade due to a lack of opportunities, and at a young age, found in marriage and farming not just a path set before her, but a way to build her life with dignity and courage.

A massive donga in Eswatini’s Ekukhanyeni community is threatening farmland, infrastructure, and livelihoods.

World Vision stepped in with emergency fuel support, helping communities resume irrigation and protect their crops.
