As artificial intelligence reshapes platforms at extraordinary speed, are children’s rights keeping pace with the rapid shifts in their own digital world?

This policy brief introduces the ENOUGH Campaign in East Africa and invites you to be part of a practical response rooted in bold hope to end child hunger and malnutrition. It explains the challenge clearly, highlights what is working, and sets out actions that governments, donors, businesses, civil society, communities and friends of children can take together. The goal is simple and urgent: to make sure every child has ENOUGH of the right food to grow well, learn in school and thrive.

Children are at the heart of everything we do, their voices, dreams, and well-being drive our mission.  We are excited to share that amid the ever-growing humanitarian needs we reached 16.4 Million children in the East Africa Region.

The study shows deportation is an economic and protection shock that reverberates through households and local markets.

Simon, a 10 year old boy from Kisantu, struggled in silence because he could not read. After joining the RUTH Reading Club, he discovered a safe and supportive space where facilitators encouraged him step by step. Though he almost gave up, his facilitator personally came to bring him back, reminding him that he mattered. With patience and daily progress, Simon eventually read his first sentence, and everything changed. Now he reads and writes confidently and dreams of becoming a mechanic. He proudly thanks World Vision, the facilitators, and the sponsors for helping him succeed.
