"Now, I attend classes with focus and actively participate in discussions." Deeply impacted by the conflict in Tigray, Lidiya found support through World Vision Ethiopia & @ec.europa.eu DG ECHO's child-friendly space, boosting her well-being and school performance. www.wvi.org/stories/ethi...

Recently, Jeroen Uytterschaut, our EU Representative & Executive Director, and Martin van de Locht, Head of International Programs at World Vision Germany, went to Kyiv to visit partners and World Vision Ukraine Crisis Response's projects.

Yesterday's #DEVE meeting was a key exchange of views on #BUDG's draft INI report for a revamped #EU budget. 🤝As MEP @charlesgoerens.bsky.social put it best, economic and human development go hand in hand. This is why CONCORD's proposed amendments aim to strenghten the next MFF content and language

📢 The impact of #ODA programming that directly or indirectly targets children is 10x what is put in. The next #MFF needs to have a strong focus on child-related investment in ODA. Why? Because children should be a priority for funding and key political policies. www.wvi.org/newsroom/adv...

A l'occasion de la Journée internationale des enfants soldats, j'ai recueilli le témoignage de Sekpo, un jeune homme qui a été enlevé et enrôlé de force au Soudan du Sud, à seulement dix ans. @worldvisioneu.bsky.social @20minutes.bsky.social www.20minutes.fr/monde/413836...

Typhoon Yagi swept over the north of Vietnam on 7 Sept. 2024. Last October, the @ec.europa.eu DG ECHO joined forces with World Vision Vietnam, @planglobal.bsky.social Vietnam & @careorg.bsky.social in Vietnam to support humanitarian response and early recovery in the aftermath of the typhoon.

🚨 The next MFF negotiations are approaching! 🚨 If the EU wants to stay a global leader in international cooperation (and we've got great reasons why it should 😉), it must commit to a strong, predictable, and well-funded development budget 💶🌍 How? We've got recommendations 👇 🔗 bit.ly/3EkROqT

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a violation of human rights affecting millions of girls worldwide. As a recent @unicef.org report shows, more than 230M girls and women have been subjected to FGM, with around 4M girls estimated to be at risk of FGM annually. Let's work together to #EndFGM!

Did you know that investing in children yields a 10x return?🤔 Yet, only 3.3% of EU development aid directly targets children. The EU has a key chance to address this funding gap in the next Multiannual Financial Framework. For more info, World Vision and EY report⤵️ www.wvi.org/newsroom/adv...

The support we receive from the @ec.europa.eu European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations in the West Bank is helping us ensure that children access safe education. In the past 11 months, our work directly benefitted 130,000 children in the West Bank, making schools safer for them.

This year's #EducationDay, one of the key reflections is around preserving human agency in an increasingly automated educational landscape. Aristeu Duarte, World Vision's Director of #AI & Emerging Technologies, addressed this question in this article.⤵️ www.wvi.org/stories/educ...

Ahead of #EducationDay, our message is simple but clear: all children deserve safe and continuous education! 📢

We welcome the ceasefire in Gaza and call for consistent, unfettered humanitarian access.   The situation across the region remains fragile, with conflict, violence, movement restrictions and economic collapse in the West Bank having devastating effects.  www.wvi.org/newsroom/jer...

The Community Transformation for Peace in Papua (NOKEN Papua) is an EU-funded initiative carried out by Wahana Visi Indonesia, World Vision's office in Indonesia, focusing on creating safe & supportive environments for children.

We welcome the new Polish Presidency of the @consilium.europa.eu and look forward to working together to protect the most vulnerable children and their communities worldwide. Let’s join forces to build an EU that leaves no child behind!

More than 733M people are facing hunger. The EU is uniquely positioned to ensure that these people, especially children, have #ENOUGH nourishing food so they can thrive. This starts by committing to strong financial and policy actions to combat food insecurity and malnutrition.

The 2024 is now coming to an end.✨ We look forward to continuing our work in 2025 with the EU institutions, peer organisations & communities from all over the world to help the most vulnerable children and their families overcome poverty and injustice.

In this story⤵️Rehab, 16 y/o from Sudan, talks about the impact of #SchoolMeals provided by World Vision in a Save the Children Finland-led project, funded by @ec.europa.eu. "This nutritious meal makes me happier and lifts the burden on my parents". bit.ly/4fm5izG

We welcome the @consilium.europa.eu Conclusions on food security & nutrition, especially the focus on: 🔸tackling the humanitarian funding gap 🔸nexus 🔸social protection such as school meals 🔸calling for a revised Action Plan on Nutrition ahead of #N4G2025. data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document...

#Humanitarian needs are rising, with record levels of displacement and a growing global #hunger emergency. That’s why with our NGO peers, we’re calling for the full and early funding of the 2025 Global Humanitarian Overview⬇️ reliefweb.int/report/world...

🗣️Every $1 invested in nutrition returns $23 in benefits. This roundtable⤵️ will focus on how the EU must commit to strong financial and policy actions to combat malnutrition. @careglobal.bsky.social @savechildreneu.bsky.social @wateraid.bsky.social @welthungerhilfe.bsky.social
