FY25 was a year of hard choices and courageous leadership. In the face of escalating global crises, we responded to 108 emergencies, reaching nearly 36 million people—including over 18 million children—with life-saving food, cash, health care, education, and protection. Determined to do more with less, we reimagined humanitarian operations, driving cost-efficiency and resilience while embracing digital transformation. Artificial intelligence and automation helped reinvest savings into communities, even as funding tightened. We strengthened the sector through training and surge capacity, deepened partnerships to champion child-focused humanitarian action, and pushed for a Humanitarian Reset—an aid system that is decentralised, inclusive, and accountable. In the world’s most fragile contexts, we proved that children can thrive when compassion meets purpose. FY25 wasn’t just about responding to crises—it was about shaping the future of humanitarian action.

Amid a growing health and environmental crisis at Myanmar’s iconic Inle Lake, an innovative solution is emerging: floating bio-septic toilets. Designed to withstand floods and treat waste safely, these systems will transform sanitation for water-based communities. With support from World Vision, the project offers new hope for disease prevention, cleaner water, and long-term resilience—especially for women and children. This story explores how a simple yet powerful design could shape a healthier future for flood-prone regions across Myanmar.
