A World Vision Somalia study found poverty, malnutrition, displacement, and low awareness as key drivers of delayed tuberculosis diagnosis.

The humanitarian crisis in Somalia has reached catastrophic levels, with children's lives at risk. Despite urgent needs, the response is severely underfunded, with only 21% of required funding received, three months till year's end - the lowest in decades, warns World Vision. The nutrition cluster, crucial for health and nutrition services, has received just 9% of needed funds, leaving millions without urgent support.

FY25 was a year of hard choices and courageous leadership. In the face of escalating global crises, we responded to 108 emergencies, reaching nearly 36 million people—including over 18 million children—with life-saving food, cash, health care, education, and protection. Determined to do more with less, we reimagined humanitarian operations, driving cost-efficiency and resilience while embracing digital transformation. Artificial intelligence and automation helped reinvest savings into communities, even as funding tightened. We strengthened the sector through training and surge capacity, deepened partnerships to champion child-focused humanitarian action, and pushed for a Humanitarian Reset—an aid system that is decentralised, inclusive, and accountable. In the world’s most fragile contexts, we proved that children can thrive when compassion meets purpose. FY25 wasn’t just about responding to crises—it was about shaping the future of humanitarian action.

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.
