Nyanzi Martia, chairperson and Village Health Team coordinator of Mulagi village, shares a powerful testimony of transformation brought about by World Vision’s long-term support since the early 1990s. Through training in WASH, health, nutrition, livelihoods, kitchen gardening, and Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA), Martia helped establish kitchen gardens in schools, sensitized households, and formed over 30 savings groups that improved food security and household income. Before World Vision’s intervention, the parish struggled with poor sanitation and high rates of malaria and diarrhoea, but with Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) training, the community adopted better hygiene practices, built improved latrines, and introduced handwashing facilities, drastically reducing waterborne diseases.

In Kigando B LC1, Mulagi Sub-county, the Agali-Awamu Saving Group stands as a powerful example of how unity and discipline can transform lives. Founded in 2014 by 13 neighbors with a shared vision of financial stability, the group has grown to 30 members—men and women who meet weekly to save, borrow, and share resources. Operating on a simple model of regular savings and responsible borrowing, the group has achieved remarkable milestones, including pooling 30 million Uganda shillings last year, which was distributed among members to significantly boost their livelihoods. With guidance and training from World Vision, members learned financial management, record-keeping, and transparent practices that strengthened trust and cohesion.

This human-interest story highlights the inspiring transformation of Jérôme, a neighbourhood chief from the rural commune of LUIZA in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Once guided by traditional gender norms that placed the entire domestic burden on his wife, Jérôme’s perspective changed after attending a positive masculinity training organised by World Vision with support from the European Union and the World Food Programme. Motivated by the lessons he learned, Jérôme began sharing household and agricultural responsibilities, leading to improved family health, increased income, and renewed harmony in his home. His actions have since inspired other men in his community to adopt more equitable roles within their families.
