Many families continue to struggle to rebuild their lives one year after the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on 28 March 2025. UN experts caution that reduced international attention and shrinking humanitarian funding may lead to devastating consequences for Myanmar’s already vulnerable communities. World Vision is providing life-saving relief assistance and recovery support to children and families affected by the earthquake: Through our humanitarian efforts, both immediate relief and long-term recovery, we aim to support 560,353 people, including 172,000 children. As of 18 March 2026, we have reached 581,269 people affected by the earthquake, including 194,748 children (107,016 girls and 87,732 boys).

16.2 million people — nearly one-third of Myanmar’s population — needs humanitarian assistance (Myanmar HNRP 2026). World Vision has reached over 500,000 people including 194,748 children (as of 18 March 2026) - but funding shortfalls challenges continued recovery for families.

World Vision Ukraine has supported over 2.3 million people since 2022, providing essential aid and protection to conflict-affected communities across most regions of Ukraine.

Four years into the war in Ukraine, children remain at the centre of a deepening protection crisis. Today, one in three children in Ukraine requires humanitarian assistance, as sustained exposure to violence, displacement, family separation and the erosion of essential services continue to shape their daily lives.

Following its recent commitment to emergency relief, Grab Cambodia is now actively deploying a massive wave of food and healthcare supplies to thousands of displaced families in Preah Vihear. The USD 120,000 Grab-funded initiative, implemented by World Vision, has moved into a critical delivery phase to address the prolonged hardship, support health services and provide targeted nutrition and non-food item (NFI) assistance for vulnerable women and children in affected communities.

17 humanitarian NGOs operating in Afghanistan are profoundly alarmed by hundreds of civilian casualties in Kabul, Afghanistan, following heavy airstrikes on the capital on the 16th of March 2026. We urge international efforts to support deescalation.

World Vision is deeply concerned for the well-being of children and their families affected by the earthquake: Children are among the most affected, facing increased risks, loss of learning, and urgent protection needs. World Vision is providing life-saving relief assistance to the children and the families affected by the earthquake. We aim to support 500,000 people, including 85,057 boys and 86,902 girls, through both immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts.

World Vision urgently calls on all parties to immediately de-escalate hostilities in the Middle East and work towards a lasting peaceful resolution.

At the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week (HNPW) 2026, World Vision demonstrated how child-centred, evidence-driven approaches can deliver greater impact, efficiency, and resilience at a moment when humanitarian needs are rising and resources are under intense strain. Across seven high-impact sessions, in partnership with UN agencies like WFP, FAO, clusters and networks like School Meals Coalition, Food Security Cluster and the Cash Learning and Partnership (CALP) Network, World Vision representatives helped shape global conversations on the Humanitarian Reset, bringing practical field experience, strong partnerships, and a clear focus on outcomes for children and communities.
