Education is the flashlight to the future! World Vision is helping children in Laos remain in school through scholarships so they can go on to become nurses and engineers some day. #WorldVision #education #learning

More than 1 million children die each year from severe wasting – a serious form of malnutrition. But malnutrition is preventable. In Laos, I saw how World Vision is helping families improve children’s diets to prevent malnutrition. There is hope! #WorldVision #health #tbt

It is time to unclip the wings of women and let them fly as leaders. Women serving in leadership roles at World Vision is essential, a priority, crucial to our work #WorldVision #leadership #womenleaders

Our female staff in #Afghanistan play a crucial role, and are saving lives every single day. At a press conference alongside other NGO leaders just now, I called for the decision to effectively ban female NGO workers in Afghanistan to be reconsidered at the earliest opportunity.

On World Water Day, I am here at the United Nations 2023 Water Conference to help accelerate action on SDG6. A lack of clean water drives thirst and hunger. Read my reflection here: wvi.org/opinion/view/w… #WaterAction #WaterWednesday #WorldVision

Today at the UN Water Conference, I talked about how a lack of clean water is an issue of poverty and injustice, and how we must ensure the participation of women and marginalised groups in WASH programming #WaterAction #WaterWednesday #WorldVision

Governments must play a leading role in ensuring the sustainability of clean water in communities. At the UN Water Conference, I talked about how World Vision supports governments in fulfilling their responsibility. #WaterAction #WorldVision

When I visited Nepal, I saw that World Vision is more than a stop gap for children. We are addressing the root causes of poverty by improving education, food security and economic resilience. #WorldVision #education

In Venezuela, I saw beauty and despair—the tension between hope and heartache. World Vision is there, helping families to feed their children but more must be done. #health #endhunger #WorldVision

I joined children in a game of football when I was in Venezuela and they told me all about the hardships they have encountered. World Vision believes children are the present, not just the future! #health #endhunger #WorldVision

There is a dominating narrative that “the poor” only need others to help them. But while I was in Venezuela, I saw how much the local people sacrificed to help each other. Mrs. Gladys, who opened her home to feed children, is one of those heroes. #health #endhunger #WorldVision

40% of women worldwide lack access to financial institutions. This means no #loans, no mortgages, no savings and no protection from theft. In #Niger, #WorldVision formed 168 #SavingsGroups to help women overcome financial emergencies and fight child malnutrition.

It's devastating to read about the loss of lives, displacement, and suffering in #RioGrandedoSul. My prayers are with the children and families caught in this disaster. #Floods and #landslides are affecting more than 400 communities, leaving hundreds of thousands homeless.

Dependent on the underfunded humanitarian aid, displaced children and families don’t have #enoughto eat. World Vision’s new report shows a drastic reduction in meals and increases in child marriage, child labour, and mental health risks: bit.ly/4b605cZ #worldrefugeeday

One of my greatest honours in leading World Vision’s field programmes is ensuring children’s voices from the poorest parts of the world are heard with the highest institutional bodies. #ida21 #idaworks
