In five years, World Vision's Cash and Voucher Programming reached 9.8 million people in over 50 countries, distributing $1.5 billion to vulnerable children and families.

But that story is beginning to change—thanks to the El Niño Life Saving Cash Project, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and implemented by World Vision Zimbabwe, in collaboration with the Government of Zimbabwe.

As part of WV’s Myanmar Earthquake Response, in partnership with WFP, 9,313 people have received Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MPCA). The World Food Programme and World Vision have been in long-term partnership for years prior to the earthquake. With WFP's support, World Vision has provided support to vulnerable families and children through various initiatives, including food distribution, maternal and child cash transfers, assistance for internally displaced persons (IDPs), and cash-for-assets programmes.

Across Bangladesh’s poverty pockets, a quiet transformation is underway led not by handouts, but by empowerment. At the heart of this change lies World Vision Bangladesh’s innovative use of Conditional Cash Transfers (CCTs) within its Ultra Poor Graduation (UPG) programme—a bold shift away from traditional asset transfers towards a community-driven, dignity-affirming model of livelihood development.

The initiative is helping over 24,000 people in Epworth who are facing food insecurity due to the effects of the El Niño-induced drought.

Over 32 million people face catastrophic hunger as a deepening crisis threatens lives, crisis deepens as urgent aid and global response lag behind.

Sanaa Maalouf explains that a new report reveals that ending child poverty is possible—but won't happen through fragmented or short-term responses.

Celebrating Semi-Annual Achievements

“Our dream is simple: To have access to clean water, enough food and safe schools” said Ameer 16, from the West Bank. Along with several other Palestinian children, he reminded the participants of the 2025 European Humanitarian Forum (EHF) about how the current conflict has disrupted their education, mental health, and sense of normalcy. But they also spoke of how education programming, when combined with psychosocial support and protection, can turn schools in places of safety, hope, and healing.
