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.

World Vision, through the WALIP Project funded by the U.S. Government, is helping conflict-affected children in North Kivu, eastern DRC, rebuild their lives through Child-Friendly Spaces. In Kanyaruchinya, nearly 900 children participate in educational, recreational, and psychosocial activities each week in a safe environment that promotes healing and growth. According to Moyo Kanghezani, Chief of Party of the WALIP Project, football has become a powerful tool for helping children cope with trauma, regain confidence, and envision a brighter future. Inspired by the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and role models such as Cédric Bakambu, children like Ruphin and Kevine are pursuing their dreams while developing resilience and hope. The Child-Friendly Spaces demonstrate how investing in child protection, learning, and well-being can transform the lives of children affected by conflict.

In the dry landscapes of Northern Ghana, restoring degraded land has become increasingly challenging. Years of declining soil fertility and erratic rainfall have made it difficult for farmers to establish and sustain planted trees. For many communities, the challenge is not only about planting trees, but also about finding the right seedlings to start with. Without access to quality planting materials or the knowledge to raise them, many restoration efforts have fallen short.
