In 2024, World Vision International – Cambodia (WVI-C) made a profound impact, reaching over 3 million children across the country. Through strategic partnerships with government institutions, donors, and civil society, we implemented programs in education, health, child protection, economic development, and climate resilience. These efforts directly contributed to Cambodia’s Pentagonal Strategy and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), helping to break cycles of poverty and create sustainable opportunities for vulnerable communities. Key achievements this year included providing quality education to over 197,000 children, training more than 3,000 teachers, and expanding health and nutrition services to 54,000 children and 19,000 pregnant women. Our economic empowerment programs helped over 4,000 farmers adopt climate-smart agriculture, while social accountability initiatives improved public service delivery in over 60% of communes. Additionally, youth-led research on climate change influenced national conversations on environmental sustainability. These achievements would not have been possible without the collaboration of development agencies, corporate sponsors, and government ministries. With funding from organizations such as the World Bank, DFAT, EU, GIZ, and SDC, we continue to scale impactful solutions for Cambodia’s children. As we move forward, we invite development partners and stakeholders to join us in building a future where every child in Cambodia can dream, learn, and thrive. Together, we create lasting change.

The Cash Waves research, commissioned by World Vision’s MEER office in partnership with Qualisus Consulting, aims to assess the broader impact of CVA programmes on mental health and psychosocial well-being, livelihood-resilience, community cohesion, gender equality and social inclusion (GESI), and child well-being amongst marginalised groups and youth.

This press release updates the consequences of the ongoing clashes between loyal DRC forces and the M23 rebels. With this press release, World Vision would like to draw attention to the plight of women and children who are once again affected and are in dire need of assistance. They need water, food and shelter. Children and women also need protection from all forms of violence. This statement is also an appeal to the international community to provide humanitarian assistance to these people, to whom the humanitarian actors do not yet have access.

We cannot do it alone. Empowering local actors to lead the response, recovery, rehabilitation and development in their countries is a top priority, and building their capacity supports us to achieve our goals of ensuring every girl and boy has what they need to live a life in all its fullness. We partner with supporters, governments, local communities, faith leaders, civil society, faith-based organisations to support the needs of children and their families throughout the region

As the Ukraine Crisis Response enters its fourth year, the impact of war continues to devastate the lives of millions, particularly children. Over the past three years, World Vision has reached more than 2 million people, including nearly 1 million children, providing critical support such as education, mental health services, cash assistance, livelihoods, winterisation and protection initiatives. Despite these efforts, the challenges remain immense. Millions of children are still displaced, struggling to access the basic needs every child deserves, and deprived of their rights to safety, education, health and home.
