Uganda hosts over 1.5 million refugees, the highest number in Africa; however, with the funding shortage, children under five are at high risk of Malnutrition and child hunger.

World Vision International (WVI) is committed to combating hunger and improving food security for vulnerable populations, with a strong focus on children, those most affected by food insecurity

Families across the West Bank are facing an unprecedented crisis marked by hunger, poverty, and fear, according to a new report released today by World Vision. The Unseen Crisis highlights the worsening situation for children, revealing an almost tenfold increase in the number of families reporting that a member had gone a full day without eating since 2022. Three out of four households surveyed are now unable to cover their most essential needs, and half of the children are regularly skipping meals.  

On World Refugee Day, World Vision Kenya stands in solidarity with refugees, highlighting the urgent need to honour their stories and uphold their rights amid a growing global displacement crisis.

To rethink how to effectively address food crises and showcase how the humanitarian system can update and re-imagine itself to meaningfully contribute to reversing the trends of acute hunger and reduce needs, ECOSOC Humanitarian Affairs Segment (HAS) had a side event focused on People-Driven Responses: The Effective Way to Combat Food Crises. World Vision, represented by Amanda Rives Argeñal, discussed the transformative potential of Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA), as a preferred modality to meet recipients’ specific needs, specifically in protracted food crises, while offering flexibility, dignity, and cost effectiveness. 

Global aid cuts risk erasing $163B in returns by 2030. Investing in children yields $10 for every $1—yet child-focused aid is shrinking fast.

World Vision and WFP reveal how funding cuts worsen hunger, education loss, and child protection risks for displaced families in 13 crisis-affected areas.

Dr Kyi reflects on how Myanmar’s fight against hunger, amid earthquakes, conflict, and economic crisis seems daunting—but not impossible. Hope can still grow in the midst of crisis. A hunger-free world is possible for the children in Myanmar but that will require a united commitment to peace and resilience, and global solidarity.

This advocacy statement from World Vision West Africa is a powerful call to action and solidarity for World Refugee Day 2025.
