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.

Many rural schools in Zambia face big challenges. One of the biggest problems is low literacy levels among children.

Salwan, a young man from Al Ba’aj, Ninewa, was left partially paralysed by a high fever at just eight months old. Raised with love and care by his father, Salwan faced severe bullying from peers and even teachers due to his disability. This led him to leave school early and struggle with self-worth. Displaced during the 2014 conflict, his family lived in camps before returning to a looted home. Despite hardships, Salwan gradually began to accept his condition and dream of a better future. In 2024, he joined World Vision Iraq’s Life Skills sessions through the Nexus Accelerator Fund Project. Initially shy, he found confidence and hope through discussions on bullying and self-development. Now 21, Salwan aspires to start his own business but is hindered by financial barriers. Still, he remains determined to rely on himself and live with dignity, inspired by his journey of growth, resilience, and newfound self-belief.
