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.

This article describes how young people in Likasi, DRC, are engaging in the fight against HIV through World Vision’s Citizen Voice and Action (CVA) approach. Twenty youth and community leaders received five days of training to strengthen their role in monitoring HIV-related health services and promoting accountability. In a province where HIV prevalence among youth is 4.3%, participants learned to assess service quality, address stigma, and foster dialogue with health authorities. Supported by World Vision Korea, the initiative empowers young people like Jospin and Hadassa to become agents of change in their communities. The program illustrates how citizen participation can improve health systems and inspire a more informed, responsible generation.

World Vision Niger held a meeting on November 27, 2025, in Niamey with 11 pre-selected local NGOs as part of its localization policy. The goal was to lay the groundwork for sustainable partnerships aligned with Niger’s local realities. The agenda included an overview of World Vision’s vision, mission, and values, safeguarding principles, the national strategy and context, the co-creation and NGO pre-selection process, policies on gifts and conflicts of interest, anti-corruption measures, and the status of NGOs in relation to the government. Discussions emphasized the need for shared understanding to ensure coherent collaboration. Three strategic priorities were presented: improving child nutrition, strengthening child protection, and enhancing reading skills, with inclusion as a cross-cutting theme. The meeting also highlighted a new co-creation approach involving joint fundraising, shared project implementation, transparent decision-making, and collective risk management. This marks an important step toward stronger, more balanced, and sustainable partnerships, enhancing collective efforts to bring lasting change to children’s lives in Niger.
