After losing two children to malnutrition, Jeanine feared she would lose her daughter Zozo as well. Through World Vision's integrated nutrition programme, Zozo received life-saving treatment before Jeanine was trained in the Positive Deviance Hearth approach, learning how to prepare nutritious meals using locally available foods and improve childcare practices. Today, Zozo has fully recovered, Jeanine has strengthened her family's livelihood through a small business, and their household is free from malnutrition. Their story illustrates how combining therapeutic care, community-based nutrition education, and economic empowerment is helping more than 1,600 children overcome malnutrition and build healthier futures in Gemena, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The Partnerships for Improving Education (PIE) Program is transforming learning outcomes in Abau District, Central Province, by addressing long-standing challenges of remoteness, limited infrastructure, and access to quality education. Implemented with World Vision Papua New Guinea and supported by the Governments of Papua New Guinea and Australia, the program focuses on strengthening early childhood and lower primary education. At Kupiano Elementary School, PIE support through AQEFA funding enabled the construction of student desks and chairs using local expertise, creating a more comfortable and dignified learning environment. Across the district, schools are benefiting from improved classrooms, gender-sensitive facilities, safe water access, and enhanced teaching practices through ongoing training and monitoring. These interventions are leading to increased student attendance, engagement, and retention, particularly for girls and children with disabilities. By empowering teachers, supporting communities, and improving school infrastructure, the PIE Program is helping build stronger foundations for lifelong learning and creating better futures for children across Abau District.
