South Sudan’s cholera outbreak is reaching a critical level, now affecting more than 40,000 children—including 20,000 under the age of five—and placing millions more at serious risk. With more than 88,000 cases and 1,500 deaths already reported, the outbreak is accelerating at an alarming rate. World Vision is deeply concerned about the deadly disease spreading across the country. The crisis is especially severe for children, who are trapped in a dangerous mix of disease, hunger, and displacement.

The World Vision Zambia Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Business Plan for 2026-2030, titled "Mapping the Blue Thread," outlines a comprehensive strategy to accelerate universal and equitable access to WASH services across 42 countries, with a significant focus on Zambia. The plan aims to improve health, well-being, and livelihoods by delivering adaptive WASH solutions. It emphasises deepening focus on vulnerable populations, demonstrating sustainable impact, and mobilising $1.5 billion globally, with $48 million planned for in-country investments in Zambia. This data-driven approach will enable country WASH teams to implement targeted, location-specific strategies for maximum impact and sustainability.

This article highlights a growing humanitarian crisis in Nyiragongo territory, north of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where thousands of displaced people are facing severe water shortages. Formerly a refuge for people fleeing conflict in Rutshuru and Masisi, Nyiragongo now struggles to provide even the most basic necessity: clean water. Testimonies like that of Florence, an internally displaced person (IDP), illustrate the dire situation. People wait for hours in long lines, sometimes traveling up to 8 km, for a single chance at water, which is not only infrequent and unreliable but also costly. This crisis particularly affects children and infants, who are exposed to heat, hunger, and dangerous conditions near water points. The article calls for urgent humanitarian intervention to restore emergency water access, distribute hygiene kits to prevent disease outbreaks, and ensure protection for the most vulnerable.
