World Vision Education in Emergencies and Protracted Crisis Framework 2025

Even before the earthquake, World Vision has been in Mandalay. As part of our humanitarian response efforts, World Vision is providing life-saving relief assistance to the children and their families affected by the earthquake. Through our humanitarian efforts, both immediate relief and long-term recovery, we aim to support 500,000 people, including 85,057 boys and 86,902 girls. As of 14 May 2025, we have reached 321,349 people affected by the earthquake, including 101,950 children.

In Afghanistan, millions face the daily realities of drought, hunger, and displacement. The FRAMES Consortium offered a powerful response, reaching over 675,000 people across nine provinces with life-saving support: • Farmers were trained to rebuild their livelihoods • Water systems were restored in drought-hit communities • Clinics treated malnourished children • Safe spaces helped children heal and learn • Families received cash to buy food, pay rent, and survive But then it all stopped. Funding cuts forced FRAMES to shut down — abruptly ending critical support for hundreds of thousands of people. A mother from Ghor province shares, "Eight of my own children have died years ago, simply because we couldn’t get them to medical care in time." Her story is a painful reminder of what happens when health systems fail — and why programs like FRAMES matter so deeply. FRAMES wasn’t just a project, it was a model of what works in one of the world’s most challenging humanitarian contexts. Watch to see what real impact looks like — and what’s at stake when it’s taken away.

World Vision expresses deep concern following the devastating earthquake that struck eastern Afghanistan overnight, reportedly killing hundreds and injuring thousands more.

This article tells the story of Aimé, a 32-year-old self-taught electronics repairer in Tshikala, in the Congolese province of Lualaba, whose life was transformed by receiving a wheelchair through World Vision DRC’s Gift-In-Kind (GIK) programme. Born without the use of his legs, Aimé’s work was limited by his inability to travel independently. Thanks to this donation, he can now visit clients, purchase spare parts, expand his customer base, and consider opening a workshop. The wheelchair has not only increased his income and eased the burden on his family, but it has also changed how the community sees him, shifting his image from “the young man in a wheelchair” to “the phone repairer”. His story highlights the profound impact that well-targeted in-kind donations can have, restoring autonomy, dignity, and social recognition to people who have long been marginalised.

A Humanitarian’s Reflection from the Border

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.
