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.

A reflection on the post-COP30 landscape and why the implementation narrative still falls short for the world’s most vulnerable.

FY25 was a year of hard choices and courageous leadership. In the face of escalating global crises, we responded to 108 emergencies, reaching nearly 36 million people—including over 18 million children—with life-saving food, cash, health care, education, and protection. Determined to do more with less, we reimagined humanitarian operations, driving cost-efficiency and resilience while embracing digital transformation. Artificial intelligence and automation helped reinvest savings into communities, even as funding tightened. We strengthened the sector through training and surge capacity, deepened partnerships to champion child-focused humanitarian action, and pushed for a Humanitarian Reset—an aid system that is decentralised, inclusive, and accountable. In the world’s most fragile contexts, we proved that children can thrive when compassion meets purpose. FY25 wasn’t just about responding to crises—it was about shaping the future of humanitarian action.

Thousands displaced in Haiti’s Central Plateau face inhumane conditions. World Vision urges global action to restore dignity, safety, and hope.

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.

Matthew Pickard, Regional Director for World Vision Southern Africa, reflects on Mozambique’s powerful example of post-conflict recovery and resilience. Drawing from personal experience in Niassa Province after the civil war, he emphasises that peace is not solely the product of political agreements—it is built and sustained by communities. Yet, Mozambique’s peace remains fragile. In Cabo Delgado, ongoing insurgency has displaced over 50,000 people since early 2024. He reaffirms that Mozambique’s story underscores a critical development truth: sustainable peace is people-powered. When local leadership, civil society, and governments collaborate, transformation is not only possible—it’s inevitable.
