In DRC, World Vision is helping transform traditional gender roles through its Men Care approach, supported by Aktion Deutschland Hilft (ADH). The programme trains community facilitators who lead discussions with fathers on positive parenting, shared household responsibilities, girls’ education, and non-violent family relationships. In its first phase, 660 men from Nyangezi and Nyantende participated. The initiative is already producing visible changes in families, with many men becoming more involved in domestic tasks, communication, and childcare. By encouraging fathers to play a more active and supportive role at home, World Vision aims to strengthen families, reduce domestic tensions, and create safer, more nurturing environments for children.

World Vision International in Cambodia’s 2025 Impact Report highlights a year of resilience, adaptation, and collective action amid significant humanitarian and development challenges. In a rapidly changing context shaped by sector‑wide disruptions and escalating border‑related conflict, World Vision Cambodia worked closely with government authorities, partners, communities, and donors to respond to urgent needs while sustaining long‑term development efforts. In 2025, World Vision Cambodia reached 5.4 million people, including 3.1 million children, nearly one third of Cambodia’s population. Humanitarian response remained a critical priority, supporting over 144,000 displaced people across 100 displacement sites, including children and people with disabilities, through life‑saving assistance such as water, sanitation, food and non‑food items, cash assistance, education, health and nutrition services, protection, and psychosocial support. Beyond emergency response, progress was achieved across education, child protection, WASH, nutrition, livelihoods, climate action, social accountability, and inclusive programming. The year also marked 55 years of World Vision’s long‑term commitment in Cambodia, reflecting sustained partnership and a shared vision for every child to experience life in all its fullness.

According to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), attacks between 2 and 8 March have resulted in 394 people killed and 1,130 injured, with figures Increasing daily. Displacement orders issued in the last days, including renewed orders affecting areas south of the Litani River and the entirety of Beirut’s southern suburbs, have triggered further population movements and repeated displacement for many households. As of 8 March, the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Unit reports 117,228 displaced individuals residing in 538 collective shelters. The Government of Lebanon has launched a national self-registration platform for internally displaced persons, with over 517,000 people, indicating the potential scale of displacement beyond those recorded in collective shelters. Recent days have seen hostilities expand beyond traditional frontline areas, including blanket evacuation orders affecting Beirut’s southern suburbs, warnings and subsequent strikes targeting branches of the Al-Qard- Al-Hassan Association. Airstrikes have also impacted locations outside the declared warning zones, including a hotel in central Beirut and an earlier strike on a hotel in Hazmieh, both situated outside the primary red-zone areas. These incidents highlight the widening geographic scope of the conflict and the continued risks to civilians and humanitarian operations across areas.
