World Vision Zambia has been named Best Social Marketing Organisation of the Year 2025 at the Zambia Institute of Marketing's 29th Annual Marketing Conference and Awards, a recognition that belongs not to us, but to the people who made it possible.

This inspiring article highlights how World Vision's Let the Children Come (LCC) project is transforming the lives of children in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo through Bible Reading Clubs. Operating in areas affected by conflict, disease outbreaks, and social challenges, the initiative provides children with spiritual guidance, literacy support, and life skills through regular Bible reflection sessions. Through the personal testimonies of Bright and Christophe, readers discover how these clubs help children develop positive behaviour, strengthen their faith, learn to read, and embrace values such as obedience, forgiveness, and peacebuilding. The article also showcases the role of trained Sunday school facilitators, the distribution of thousands of Bibles and educational materials, and the integration of critical health messages, including Ebola prevention. Ultimately, the story demonstrates how Bible Reading Clubs serve as safe spaces where children can heal, learn, and grow, while calling for the expansion of this proven model to reach more vulnerable children across the region.

In the Shadow of Hunger: The Power of Self-Reliance to Protect Children and Restore Hope

World Vision is helping girls like Juliet, 12, from Malawi stay in school by addressing period poverty through reusable sanitary pads. Juliet once missed classes because her family could not afford disposable pads, which cost about K2,000 ($1.15) per packet. World Vision trained and equipped mother groups on the production of reusable sanitary pads, which has turned out to be a transformative solution. As a result, girls are attending classes with confidence, absenteeism has reduced, and hygiene practices have improved across the school.
