"For us, school is not just a place, but a second home and a source of hope. The interruption of education deprives us of opportunities for growth." Osaid, 16 y/o, from the West Bank, on the importance of safe & continuous education during emergencies. @WorldVisionJWG @WVMEERO

For over 20 years, we’ve partnered with the EU to help vulnerable children access education, nutrition, protection, and more. Together, we not only deliver impact but also ensure children’s voices are heard at the highest levels. @eu_echo @EU_Partnerships @eu_enlargement_

🚨 Less aid going to children could lead to $163B loss in their futures, health & education. With the EU shaping up its new long-term budget, the #MFF, this is the time to make the right decision and the smartest investment: investing in children. wvi.org/publications/advocac…

🗣️Hope is being restored – one classroom at a time. Read this photo story of how @WorldVision, with support from @eu_echo and working with the Teacher Creativity Center, launched catch-up classes in the West Bank, already reaching ~3k children. wvi.org/stories/jerusalem-we…

I visited Midnimo health facility in Dhobley, Southern Somalia. We are working in partnership with the Ministry of Health to deliver multiple interventions, including health and nutrition, multipurpose cash transfer, disaster risk reduction and training. The SHIP program, supported by @eu_echo, a consortium of World Vision, OXFAM, WASDA, ZAM ZAM, and GREDO, is reaching out to hard-to-reach communities. Partnering with @unicefsomalia we are layering support for severely malnourished #children. Through this joint action, we are providing an integrated and comprehensive package of services. With the downturn of aid resources, these outposts are becoming important lifelines for #mothers and #children. #ENOUGH #WorldVision @WorldVisionEU

Through #EU4SocialCare, Vlora Municipality & Center for Gender Justice strengthen social services for children & youth with disabilities. Daily activities build skills, independence & confidence - every small step is a big victory. @EUinAlbania @albania_unicef @WorldVisionEU

2024 was the deadliest year for humanitarian workers - 2025 is on track to be worse. This #WHD2025, we continue to honour aid workers and call for their protection as they provide lifesaving support and bring hope to millions in need. wvi.org/world-humanitarian-d… #ActForHumanity

Investing in children isn't just right, it's smart! This @WorldVision's report reveals that every $1 of aid spent on children yields $10 in returns. wvi.org/publications/advocac…

With the right support, communities can reverse land degradation & build a better future. This is what's happening with Regreening Africa, a key EU-funded initiative aiming to restore degraded land & improve livelihoods across the Sahel and East Africa. wvi.org/stories/world-vision…

The Central African Republic continues to grapple with a protracted humanitarian crisis, with escalating violence triggering mass displacements. Thanks to @eu_echo's Crisis Modifier, @WorldVisionCAR will be able to respond quickly to the urgent needs of displaced communities.

Across Africa’s drylands, communities are restoring land and hope.🌱 In this article, our EU Partnerships Specialist Lisa Nowag shares insights on Regreening Africa, a major EU-funded initiative where @WorldVision is one of the implementing partners. wvi.org/stories/world-vision…

Even when schools are destroyed, learning continues. With EU support, @WorldVision and the Palestinian Ministry of Education are helping children like 7-year-old Doha reclaim their right to education.

This is the time to make the right decision and the smartest investment in the next #EUBudget: investing in children. ❌ Not investing in children: $163B loss in children's futures, health & education. ✅Investing in children: $10 for every $1 spent. wvi.org/publications/advocac…
