West Africa Impact Summary 2024

In 2024, the intertwined challenges of conflict, climate change, and economic uncertainty continued to heighten vulnerability for children and families across West and Central Africa. Yet, by God’s grace and through collective action, World Vision reached more than 13.9 million people with life-saving and sustainable support. 

Together, we strengthened health and nutrition services for 5.2 million people, provided clean water to and improved hygiene and sanitation for 1.9 million people, and reached 2.4 million people through our emergency response work. Our child protection work helped ensure that more than 1.5 million children were safeguarded from harm. In addition, our education, livelihoods, and faith-based initiatives restored hope and resilience to millions across the 9 countries where World Vision works directly, plus 2 more countries where we worked through partners. 

Equally vital, our advocacy efforts strengthened child protection systems and amplified young voices, helping shape policies that will positively impact more than 16 million people. 

These achievements were made possible through the dedication of our staff and the steadfast support of our partners, donors, and communities. Together, we are transforming and empowering lives.
