Nutrition, Education, and Smiles for Every Child

Lack of safe water once forced 18-year-old Sibonelo from Mahlalini to spend hours fetching water from the river, affecting her studies and limiting her family’s ability to grow food. After World Vision’s WASH programme brought clean water into their homestead, everything changed. Sibonelo was able to focus on her education, complete school, and now plans to pursue an electrical wiring course. Her family established a thriving garden, enjoys nutritious meals, and runs a small poultry business, supported by reliable water access. The availability of safe water has strengthened their livelihoods and opened new opportunities for a better future.

World Vision support empowered Mountain Kingdom Poultry Cooperative with skills, savings, and market access, enabling families in Mohale’s Hoek to grow sustainable poultry businesses.

Small Supplies, Big Impact for Children’s Education

World Vision Southern Africa, in partnership with the Ministry of Health and the Global Fund, is implementing adolescent-friendly spaces (AFS) across Zambia to support young people in making informed Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) decisions. Through the IMPACT+ model, a life skills approach integrating education, behavior change, and service-learning, over 36,000 out-of-school adolescents have been reached with SRH interventions, empowering them to navigate challenges like early pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and peer pressure. By equipping peer educators and health workers with IMPACT+ skills, the initiative fosters safe spaces where adolescents can access SRHR education, receive guidance, and build confidence. With increased community involvement and government support, this model is paving the way for sustainable adolescent health and well-being in the region.
