Wavinya, 12, is a sponsored child from Kenya. She was born unable to walk. Thanks to her sponsor, her family is supported and included in community life. Negative attitudes towards people living with a disability can be the main barrier to their inclusion. By raising awareness about discrimination, and encouraging families living with disability to take part in activities, we help children have better opportunities.

22-month-old Mishu from the Democratic Republic of Congo is being treated for severe malnutrition. Ten months ago, he fell ill with malaria and typhoid and has never really regained his health. Millions of children die each year from preventable causes. It’s a lottery of dirty water, infections they weren’t immunised against, malnutrition and illnesses that can be treated with the right healthcare.

Denzel, 13 and his 16-year-old brother Tinotenda were left to fend for themselves when their parents crossed the border from Zimbabwe in search of employment. They grow their own vegetables for food but rely on World Vision for food assistance and for Denzel’s education. We work with communities to ensure that their lives are transformed for the long term, so progress is sustained after we leave.

Billy, eight, and his family from Zambia received goats to help them recover from the devastating impact of the drought. They had high hopes for a good harvest, but without rain, their crops failed. Life was hard because the family were unable to afford food and school fees for Billy and his siblings. Thanks to supporters, families like Billy’s are increasing their income through goat rearing. His mother explains, “We sold five goats last year, and the money we got enabled us to start a business.”
