World Vision International in Cambodia’s 2025 Impact Report highlights a year of resilience, adaptation, and collective action amid significant humanitarian and development challenges. In a rapidly changing context shaped by sector‑wide disruptions and escalating border‑related conflict, World Vision Cambodia worked closely with government authorities, partners, communities, and donors to respond to urgent needs while sustaining long‑term development efforts. In 2025, World Vision Cambodia reached 5.4 million people, including 3.1 million children, nearly one third of Cambodia’s population. Humanitarian response remained a critical priority, supporting over 144,000 displaced people across 100 displacement sites, including children and people with disabilities, through life‑saving assistance such as water, sanitation, food and non‑food items, cash assistance, education, health and nutrition services, protection, and psychosocial support. Beyond emergency response, progress was achieved across education, child protection, WASH, nutrition, livelihoods, climate action, social accountability, and inclusive programming. The year also marked 55 years of World Vision’s long‑term commitment in Cambodia, reflecting sustained partnership and a shared vision for every child to experience life in all its fullness.
