In humanitarian crises, food security is often treated as a standalone goal. But World Vision is helping shift that paradigm — proving that protecting children must be central to how we feed, recover, and rebuild. Together with the Child Protection Area of Responsibility, the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, Plan International, and the Food Security Cluster, World Vision is setting a new standard: one where child well-being is not an afterthought, but a core outcome of humanitarian response.

Farmers in Hudur, Southern Somalia, face severe drought and conflict, threatening their livelihoods. Ibrahim, a father of nine, struggled with poor crop yields and water scarcity. With support from World Vision’s Somali Nexus Accelerator Fund (NAF), he received drought-resistant seeds, agricultural training, and a solar-powered irrigation system. This transformed his farm, enabling consistent harvests, food security, and income for his family’s education. Ibrahim’s success story highlights the impact of sustainable farming solutions in conflict-affected regions.
