Despite progress in recent years, Zambia continues to face significant challenges in providing quality education. One of the most pressing issues is the limited educational infrastructure in rural areas. Many schools operate in dilapidated buildings that are unsafe, overcrowded, and lack basic facilities such as clean water, sanitation, and learning materials. These conditions hinder effective teaching and learning, discourage attendance, especially among vulnerable children, and ultimately compromise their future prospects.

This article paints a vivid and deeply human portrait of Pacifique Musafiri, a Nutrition Officer working in the remote health zones of Luiza and Luambo in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Every day, long before sunrise, Pacifique sets out on treacherous sandy tracks where motorbikes sink and the rain erases the roads. Through powerful scenes and testimonies, the article highlights his extraordinary resilience, from battling shifting sand and dangerous slopes to reconnecting isolated communities cut off by impassable terrain. The narrative follows him as he visits villages, supports mothers’ cooking demonstrations, leads trainings, and motivates community representatives who often walk long distances to join him. His work is both physically demanding and emotionally heavy, yet he approaches each task with humility and hope.

This article highlights how the Rotary Healthy Communities Challenge (RHCC), implemented by World Vision in partnership with PATH and Rotary, is strengthening community health in Kasaï Province, DRC. By training and equipping community health relays with skills, handwashing kits, and bicycles, the project aims to reduce child mortality caused by malaria, acute respiratory infections, and diarrhoeal diseases. Through improved access to primary health care and a reinforced network of community health sites, the initiative seeks to protect more than 221,000 children under five in some of the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach areas.

Nyanzi Martia, chairperson and Village Health Team coordinator of Mulagi village, shares a powerful testimony of transformation brought about by World Vision’s long-term support since the early 1990s. Through training in WASH, health, nutrition, livelihoods, kitchen gardening, and Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA), Martia helped establish kitchen gardens in schools, sensitized households, and formed over 30 savings groups that improved food security and household income. Before World Vision’s intervention, the parish struggled with poor sanitation and high rates of malaria and diarrhoea, but with Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) training, the community adopted better hygiene practices, built improved latrines, and introduced handwashing facilities, drastically reducing waterborne diseases.
