World Vision Lesotho, Government, U.S. Embassy and health partners come together to co-create a roadmap to strengthen faith and community health services in Lesotho.

This article explores how World Vision's Channels of Hope (CoH) approach is supporting the fight against Ebola in Ituri Province by engaging religious leaders and communities. By training faith leaders to deliver culturally relevant health messages, the programme helps build trust, reduce stigma, and encourage the adoption of preventive measures. Through testimonies from health professionals and religious leaders in Nyakunde, the story demonstrates that defeating Ebola requires not only medical interventions but also strong community engagement and trusted local voices.

A group of driven young people in Nyanza — a commune in southern Burundi known for its oil palm — is rewriting challenges into opportunities. Trained by World Vision in business planning, organizational management, and mindset change, sixteen youths came together to form the Multiproduction Cooperative. Their mission: to transform residues left after palm oil processing into eco-friendly charcoal.

GAKURU’s story illustrates the devastating impact of conflict and displacement on children facing malnutrition in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. After recovering from severe acute malnutrition with support from World Vision, two-year-old GAKURU was forced to flee with his family when violence swept through his village, leading to a relapse. Through continued nutritional support and follow-up care, he eventually recovered. His journey highlights the resilience of children and families living through crisis, while showing how World Vision’s Nexus Accelerator Fund continues to provide life-saving nutrition support in hard-to-reach and conflict-affected communities.

World Vision Ghana convened a three-day consultative workshop in Accra, bringing together faith leaders, theological institutions and development practitioners to strengthen child-centred Creation Care and advance environmental stewardship and climate action through churches.

When the Empowered Worldview (EWV) training came to Maridi, Rhoda was mobilized along with 74 others. She was placed in the first group, one of the earliest to sit through the three-day training. She did not know it yet, but those three days would undo years of quiet self-doubt. The sessions moved through identity, vision, relationships, the roots of poverty, and mindset change grounded in biblical reflection. Two stories struck something in her: Moses and the staff in his hand (Exodus 4:1–5), and the widow whose jars of oil never ran dry (2 Kings 4:1–7).
