How integrated investments across health, nutrition, education, protection, and social protection can help every child thrive amid global crises.

World Vision’s study in Lao PDR and Zambia found low resilience among CHWs, calling for improved support, supervision, and training to sustain their vital work.

Despite progress in recent years, Zambia continues to face significant challenges in providing quality education. One of the most pressing issues is the limited educational infrastructure in rural areas. Many schools operate in dilapidated buildings that are unsafe, overcrowded, and lack basic facilities such as clean water, sanitation, and learning materials. These conditions hinder effective teaching and learning, discourage attendance, especially among vulnerable children, and ultimately compromise their future prospects.

Recent data from the 2024 Zambia Demographic and Health Survey paints a troubling picture: over a third of children under five are stunted, and nearly half of pregnant women suffer from anaemia. These alarming figures reveal a harsh reality: malnutrition and poor maternal health are severely affecting communities across Zambia, especially in communities like Mbala.

Millions of children still go to school hungry, with a single meal often deciding whether they stay in class or drop out. While 466 million now receive school meals, half of primary school-aged children remain unreached—especially in low-income countries. World Vision’s School Meals Programme delivered daily meals to over one million children in 20 countries and drove 17 policy changes to strengthen national feeding systems. From South Sudan’s new strategy to Rwanda’s citizen-led “Dusangire Lunch,” momentum is building to end child hunger for good.

New findings from UNICEF’s State of the World’s Children 2025 remind us that more than 417 million children are severely deprived in at least two essential areas of life.
