World Vision has announced an ambitious US$500 million plan to protect children living in the Amazonian communities facing the escalating impacts of the climate crisis.

World Vision warns climate plans overlook child hunger: only 18% mention it, 11% address malnutrition, leaving millions vulnerable to food insecurity.

World Vision officially launched the implementation of its WASH business plan for the period 2026-2030. This took place in the presence of its key partners, who have committed to supporting the organisation in achieving its WASH objectives.

In today’s world where millions of children still go to school hungry, Mary Njeri, Global School Meals Director, puts a spotlight on school meal programmes—costing less than a cup of coffee per child—that are transforming lives and boosting learning worldwide. With proven impact and high returns, Mary urges governments, donors to make school meals a global priority so no child is left behind.

Millions of children still go to school hungry, with a single meal often deciding whether they stay in class or drop out. While 466 million now receive school meals, half of primary school-aged children remain unreached—especially in low-income countries. World Vision’s School Meals Programme delivered daily meals to over one million children in 20 countries and drove 17 policy changes to strengthen national feeding systems. From South Sudan’s new strategy to Rwanda’s citizen-led “Dusangire Lunch,” momentum is building to end child hunger for good.

A widening gap between ambition and delivery, one that arguably reveals a deeper reluctance to confront the political choices driving hunger in the first place.
