Anto Mujinga's story is one of resilience and hope, unfolding in the remote village of Tshiyanda, in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Lualaba Province. Despite living with severe paralysis for over two decades, Anto has faced her struggles with remarkable perseverance. Her condition, which began with a mysterious illness during her childhood, gradually robbed her of her ability to move, leaving her isolated in a small mud hut. Life for Anto was a quiet existence, marked by physical limitations and a sense of abandonment. However, a turning point came when World Vision provided her with a wheelchair under the GIK program, transforming her life. Though she still relies on the help of others, particularly the village children who push her wheelchair, Anto now participates in community life, reconnecting with neighbors and reclaiming a sense of dignity and belonging.

The 7.7 earthquake, that hit Myanmar on 28 March caused widespread damage to homes, schools, health centres and public infrastructure in Mandalay and Sagaing. 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. Children and their families who have lost their homes are now dealing with extreme heat and expected rain or thundershowers, further deepening those already critical needs, especially for shelter. World Vision is providing live-saving relief assistance to the children and their families affected by the earthquake. Through our humanitarian efforts, both immediate relief and long-term recovery, we aim to support 500,000 people, including 85,057 boys and 86,902 girls. As of 8 April 2025, we have reached 22,063 people affected by the earthquake, including 6574 children (3,830 girls, 2,744 boys).
