Three months have passed since the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on 28 March 2025, yet humanitarian conditions remain critical. Early rains have further deteriorated the living situation for many children and families still residing in makeshift shelters, struggling to rebuild their lives. Access to clean water, sanitation, healthcare, and protection services, particularly for those displaced in Mandalay and Sagaing, remains dire. The earthquake compounds an already dire humanitarian situation where nearly 20 million people already needed humanitarian assistance across the country due to prolonged conflict, recurring natural disasters and economic collapse.

World Vision is deeply concerned for the well-being of children and their families affected by the earthquake: Children are among the most affected, facing increased risks, loss of learning, and urgent protection needs. World Vision is providing life-saving relief assistance to the children and the families affected by the earthquake. We aim to support 500,000 people, including 85,057 boys and 86,902 girls, through both immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts.

A decade after the 2014 conflict in Iraq, its effects still deeply impact children like ten-year-old Fatma, who suffers from stunting due to hardships faced during her early years. Displaced as an infant, her family fled violence and struggled with poverty, unable to seek proper medical care. Today, Fatma attends primary school in Tooz and participates in Arabic Catch-Up classes provided by World Vision Iraq, with support from World Vision Singapore. These after-school sessions have significantly boosted her confidence and academic performance. Once shy and quiet, Fatma now actively participates in class and dreams of becoming a dentist. Her parents, both of whom had to leave school early, are committed to supporting her education despite financial challenges. The intervention not only enhanced Fatma’s literacy but also improved her self-esteem. Projects like this empower vulnerable children in Iraq, helping them build brighter futures through education and psychosocial support.

In the overcrowded schools of Tooz, 197 km from Baghdad, nine-year-old Mustafa, a boy with short-sightedness, faces multiple challenges in his education. Struggling to learn Arabic, and adapt to the frequent turnover of teachers, Mustafa’s learning was falling behind. His father, Hasan, noted the instability and its impact on his son’s ability to focus and spell. However, with support from World Vision Iraq and dedicated teacher Narmeen anAamr, Mustafa began to improve, gaining confidence in reading and concentrating better. “He has changed for the better,” his father shared. Mustafa, popular at school, respectful, and full of ambition, dreams of becoming an engineer. While Hasan works for the government, his wife cares for the children at home. Despite challenges, the family is committed to supporting Mustafa’s education. “He must learn and continue,” Hasan says, underscoring their shared hope for a brighter future.
