Child-focused aid is shrinking despite rising global crises. Investing in children is urgent, smart, and essential for a stable, equitable future.

World Vision Uganda is pleased to present the Annual Report for the Financial Year (FY) 2024, which covers our work and impact from October 1st, 2023, to September 30th, 2024.

Guided by compassion and purpose, World Vision Ghana remained committed in 2024 to uplifting vulnerable children. Through strong partnerships nationwide, we delivered transformative support.

Global aid cuts risk erasing $163B in returns by 2030. Investing in children yields $10 for every $1—yet child-focused aid is shrinking fast.

2024 Annual Report

Families across the West Bank are facing an unprecedented crisis marked by hunger, poverty, and fear, according to a new report released today by World Vision. The Unseen Crisis highlights the worsening situation for children, revealing an almost tenfold increase in the number of families reporting that a member had gone a full day without eating since 2022. Three out of four households surveyed are now unable to cover their most essential needs, and half of the children are regularly skipping meals.  

This policy brief, Investing in the Future, presents a compelling case for expanding and increasing funding to Zambia’s School Feeding Programme as a strategic response to child hunger, malnutrition, and poor educational outcomes. Drawing on recent national and global data, the brief outlines the profound impacts of undernutrition on children's health, learning, and future prospects, particularly in rural areas. It highlights how, despite increased government allocations from K39.4 million in 2023 to a proposed K534.4 million in 2025, over 60% of eligible children still remain uncovered by the programme.

In 2024, we reached 17.9 million people, including 9.5 million children, and responded to over 16 emergencies across the region. From food security and health to protection and education, our work has brought tangible relief and hope to families affected by crisis.

As climate induced disasters get more frequent and intense, proactive and community driven solutions have never been so urgent. Through Anticipatory Action, World Vision has empowered local actors to take preventative measures before disaster strikes.

Over 500,000 people remain in urgent need following the March 28 7.7 quake . World Vision has reached over 343,000 people - 108,000 of them children - but funding shortfalls, escalating conflict and monsoon threats demand renewed international attention.
