Thai Child Representative Ming Calls on Global Leaders to Keep Their Promise to End Violence Against Children

In Myanmar’s flood-prone Inle Lake region, a climate crisis is unfolding—and with it, a public health emergency. But amid the devastation, a community-led innovation is offering a blueprint for resilient sanitation in fragile contexts.

World Vision, in collaboration with the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), unveils its most comprehensive analysis to date of child well-being in East Asia.

It has been six months since the powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on 28 March 2025.The devastating quake caused widespread damage to homes, schools, health centres, and public infrastructure across Mandalay and Sagaing regions. It has worsened an already dire humanitarian situation, with nearly 20 million people nationwide in need of assistance due to prolonged conflict, recurring natural disasters, and economic collapse. Among them are more than 3.5 million people displaced from their homes, further deepening the crisis. From Day 1, we acted swiftly—restoring access to clean water and sanitation to prevent disease outbreaks, providing food and cash assistance to address food insecurity and urgent needs, offering protection services including mental health and psychosocial support for women and children, delivering shelter assistance to displaced families, and supporting livelihood recovery through VisionFund.

On Whatsapp and Telegram, the Parenting in Crisis Chatbot is being piloted to provide caregivers with psychological support and advice on child protection.

Amid a growing health and environmental crisis at Myanmar’s iconic Inle Lake, an innovative solution is emerging: floating bio-septic toilets. Designed to withstand floods and treat waste safely, these systems will transform sanitation for water-based communities. With support from World Vision, the project offers new hope for disease prevention, cleaner water, and long-term resilience—especially for women and children. This story explores how a simple yet powerful design could shape a healthier future for flood-prone regions across Myanmar.

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.
