World Vision East Africa

Across Burundi, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda, 2025 was a year of breakthroughs, growth and impact, despite the complex humanitarian landscapes. In 2025, @WorldVision reached 26 million people, including 16.4 million children across #EastAfrica, providing 🍛 Health & Nutrition services, 📚 access to Education services, 💧 clean water, sanitation & hygiene services, 🧡 access to child protection services & psychosocial support, 💵 and access to microfinance opportunities This report is more than a record of what we achieved, it is a reminder of what we can continue to accomplish together: a future where every child is safe, nourished, supported and free to dream. 👉 Read the full 2025 Impact Report: wvi.org/publications/a… #WVImpact | #YearInReview | #ImpactReport2025

Children are at the heart of everything we do.

Education is the foundation for equality, empowerment, and a better future for all. Across East Africa, @WorldVision invested in the foundations that help children thrive by strengthening teachers’ capacity, supporting caregivers and improving learning environments so that every child feels safe, included and supported. These interventions reached over 640,000 children, from early grade literacy to accelerated learning, from safe classrooms to reading clubs and psychosocial support, our teams worked to ensure that children could keep learning despite conflict, displacement or limited resources. Education does more than teach. It protects, restores structure and opens doors to lifelong opportunity for children across the region. 👉 Read more in the full 2025 Impact Report: wvi.org/publications/a… #Education #LearningForAll #ChildProtection #WVResponse #EastAfrica

In 2025, 1.27 million people gained access to safe water across the #EastAfrica region. This milestone is a renewed opportunity for families to stay healthy, for children to learn without the burden of waterborne disease and long-distance walks in search of water. With 690,000 children benefiting from improved Water, Sanitation and Hygiene services and 388 new water systems built, including solar‑powered solutions, clean water is reaching places where it was once out of reach. Alongside safe water access, 890,000 people received essential hygiene services, helping families prevent illness and fostering healthier environments. 886,000 people also gained access to basic sanitation facilities, reducing disease risks and strengthening community well‑being. Every tap is flowing with hope, a reminder that restored dignity and renewed opportunity begin with access to clean water. 👉 Read the full 2025 Impact Report: wvi.org/publications/a… #WASH #SafeWater #CleanWater #EastAfrica

Since the Sudan conflict erupted in April 2023, more than 1.3 million people have crossed into #SouthSudan, many settling in overcrowded border sites with limited access to food, health care, and basic services. The humanitarian situation in Renk County remains tense with at least 4,500 refugees, returnees, and deportees crossing the border each week, placing a severe strain on health, water & sanitation services in host communities. The sharp reduction in humanitarian funding has left aid agencies struggling to meet even the most basic needs, particularly for children, many of whom are suffering from acute malnutrition. But hope must not run out for those who have already lost so much, every child deserves safety, dignity, and the chance to survive and thrive. The scale of this crisis needs urgent funding and sustained international support. Donate your support today. wvi.org/donate #WVSouthSudan | #EmergencyResponse | @WVSouthSudan

Across East Africa, millions of children are still growing up without the nutrition they need to survive and thrive. Yet behind every statistic is a story of hope, of a child who could learn better, grow stronger, and dream bigger if the right policies and services are in place to support them. We invite you to join us for practical insights, evidence from across nine countries across East Africa & a deeper look at how stronger policies, smarter investments, and coordinated action can unlock potential for children.

When disasters strike, we are always there to respond. Offering life‑saving assistance and standing with the most vulnerable children and families when they need us most. In 2025, @WorldVision East Africa responded to 14 emergencies across nine countries, supporting communities affected by conflict, displacement, climate shocks, and disease outbreaks by providing: 🍛 food assistance, 🧡 child protection services, 💧 safe water, 🩺 healthcare and 🏥 psychosocial support. Every response represents a story of resilience. This is a reminder of why we remain steadfast in our mission to ensure children not only survive emergencies but have the opportunity to thrive beyond them. #WVResponse #EmergencyResponse #EmergencyRelief

Integrated, government‑owned nutrition programmes are key to sustainable child well‑being. @WorldVision continues to partner with governments to strengthen systems, increase accountability, and expand proven nutrition solutions. #39thAUSummit | #Nutrition | #Agenda2063

“Our shift from fragmented nutrition projects to scaled, highimpact interventions integrated into national systems is key to sustainable child wellbeing,” shared @lilian_dodzo, our regional leader as she represented @WorldVision at the @_AfricanUnion Side Event on Child Survival & Nutrition. #39thAUSummit | #Nutrition | #Agenda2063

World Vision is honoured to join African leaders and partners at the #39thAUSummit, to prioritise child survival through stronger investment in nutrition and WASH systems. Ensuring children have access to #ENOUGH nutritious meals. #Nutrition | #Agenda2063

Today on the sidelines of the #39thAUSummit, we marked an important milestone for Africa’s children. We submitted the child friendly version of the @_AfricanUnion Convention on Ending Violence Against Women and Girls to H.E. Amb. @amma_twumamoah in Addis Ababa. Developed with the @AU_WGYD, it empowers children to understand their rights, prevent violence, take part in advocacy, and engage their governments to act. Every girl and every child deserves safety and justice. #EVAWG | #ForEveryChild | #Agenda2063 | @WorldVisionAULO

My heart is heavy today. Sudan is bleeding! Children are hungry. Families are running out of time. And now, even life‑saving humanitarian convoys are coming under attack. The recent attack on a WFP convoy en route to North Kordofan is more than an assault on trucks and supplies, it is an attack on hope. It is an attack on the mothers waiting for food for their children, on communities clinging to survival after years of conflict, displacement, and fear. No child should starve because help could not reach them. No humanitarian worker should risk their life for doing what is right. No crisis should be met with silence. @WorldVision Vision, we are deeply saddened and outraged by this violence. We stand in solidarity with WFP and all humanitarian partners who continue to serve on the frontlines, often at great personal risk because humanity demands it. I join the global humanitarian community in calling for: The protection of civilians and aid workers Safe, unhindered humanitarian access Respect for international humanitarian law Sudan’s children cannot wait. Every delayed convoy, every blocked road, every act of violence pushes them closer to the edge. We must not look away. We must not grow numb. We must choose humanity—again and again. #SudanCrisis #ProtectAidWorkers #HumanitarianAccess #ChildrenFirst #WorldVision #StopTheViolence

Proud to join the launch of @WorldVisionKE Strategy & WASH Plan. With partners across Kenya, we’re advancing safe water, resilience and child well‑being; building a healthier, hopeful future together.

Our Impact Measurement methodology strengthens our ability to collect, analyse, and use evidence to understand how integrated and sequenced interventions contribute to transformational change. It also enables us to tell a clear, credible, and compelling story of impact, especially for the most vulnerable children. As a Partnership, Impact Measurement is strengthening our strategic decisions, learning, and credibility as a child‑focused and evidence‑driven organisation. The evidence we generate informs how we design, adapt, and scale programmes that deliver lasting change for children, families, and communities. #MEAL #EvidenceDriven #ChildWellBeing #WVImpact

We are proud to be hosting one of the largest cross‑regional Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability & Learning capacity‑building initiatives in @WorldVision. Bringing together staff from 19 field offices across @WorldVisionEARO, @WorldVisionSAR & @WorldVisionWARO for practical, hands‑on learning to strengthen Impact Measurement, defining impact on children and communities.

I strongly condemn the escalating violence in South Sudan, where nearly 10 million people need life-saving humanitarian assistance & continue to bear the brunt of the conflict. I call on all parties to immediately & decisively halt all military operations, de-escalate tensions through dialogue, uphold international law, protect civilians & ensure safe & sustained humanitarian access & the security of aid workers & @UNPeacekeeping personnel & their assets. un.org/sg/en/content/…
