When a child is hungry, it is difficult to expect them to thrive in school. Muhodari, 16, was on the verge of seeing his education disrupted as food rations in refugee camps were reduced due to global funding constraints. Like many families in Musenyi Refugee Site, where he lives, his family struggles to meet their basic needs while ensuring that their children remain in school. Despite these hardships, a beacon of hope shines through the school feeding programme at Muhodari’s school. Funded by the World Food Programme (WFP) and implemented by World Vision, the school canteen provides hot lunches to students every day. The programme has become a lifeline for many children, helping them stay in school and reducing the risk of dropout.

This inspiring article highlights how World Vision's Let the Children Come (LCC) project is transforming the lives of children in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo through Bible Reading Clubs. Operating in areas affected by conflict, disease outbreaks, and social challenges, the initiative provides children with spiritual guidance, literacy support, and life skills through regular Bible reflection sessions. Through the personal testimonies of Bright and Christophe, readers discover how these clubs help children develop positive behaviour, strengthen their faith, learn to read, and embrace values such as obedience, forgiveness, and peacebuilding. The article also showcases the role of trained Sunday school facilitators, the distribution of thousands of Bibles and educational materials, and the integration of critical health messages, including Ebola prevention. Ultimately, the story demonstrates how Bible Reading Clubs serve as safe spaces where children can heal, learn, and grow, while calling for the expansion of this proven model to reach more vulnerable children across the region.
