World Vision Zambia has been named Best Social Marketing Organisation of the Year 2025 at the Zambia Institute of Marketing's 29th Annual Marketing Conference and Awards, a recognition that belongs not to us, but to the people who made it possible.

When the Zambia Institute of Public Relations and Communications announced its 2025 awards, World Vision Zambia walked away with First Prize in the Best Digital Media Campaign category — recognition earned not in boardrooms, but in the communities where the real work happens. The award reflects a year of deliberate, story-led communications that placed children at the centre of every message, every image, and every decision about what to say and how to say it.

For years, Mphande Primary School in Chipapa Community stood as a symbol of the challenges facing rural schools across Zambia. Overcrowded classrooms forced learners outdoors under trees, teachers worked under difficult conditions, and limited access to technology left pupils to wonder what digital learning looked like. Today, that story has changed, and a new chapter of opportunity has opened for nearly 500 children.

Despite escalating humanitarian needs and constrained resources, World Vision East Africa continued to deliver life-saving assistance and build resilience across the region. The FY25 Humanitarian and Emergency Affairs (HEA) Report highlights the impact of emergency response efforts in nine countries, reaching 7.5 M people, including 4M children.

15-year-old Martha from Isoka District once faced an uncertain future. Many days, her family survived on only one meal. School felt difficult because her parents struggled to afford uniforms, learning materials, and other school needs. Access to clean water was another challenge. Martha and her siblings often went several days without bathing because the family walked long distances to collect water from a stream shared with animals.
