Rwanda Typically, World Vision sponsorship programming partners in a community for approximately 15 years during which time we are providing funding, resources, technical support, monitoring expertise, and financial oversight. Yesterday, I visited a community that graduated a year ago to see if the impact has been sustained. First, I want to highlight some of the stats at the close of our partnership: - families with access to clean water increased from 47.8% to 96.7%. Similarly, families with improved sanitation facilities increased from 56.7% to 87.5%. - malnutrition rates decreased, for example children who were stunted decreased from 68.5% to 38.7%. - the overall rate of families living in extreme poverty decreased from 34.2% to 13.2% and the number of households with secondary income increased from 8% to 57.1%. - 3rd graders reading at expected proficiency levels increased from 40.7% to 63.8% while youth reporting a strong connection to their caregivers increased from 50% to 97.3%. In these cases, there was marked improvements... but, the journey wasn't done. There is still work to be done. The exciting thing is, our measure of success isn't necessarily 100% across the board in every metric and indicator. Rather, the measure of success is when the local communities are equipped to carry on and continue the work without us... that they are more resilient, aware, self-assured, trained, and connected in order to prioritize the well-being of their children. We visited a water system that provides clean water to 13,000 people with 58 water points distributed in communities, schools, and health centers covering over 51km of the district. We were greeted by water committee participants who spoke about their awareness of how water is essential for and connects education, health, livelihoods, environmental protection, and ultimately a sense of self-worth and value. My favorite quote: "This is our community; this is our water; it is our responsibility and honor to protect it. We are ready to fight the battle to sustain what we have accomplished. We will not go back!" We also visited with some families who participated in economic programs and savings groups. One member proudly proclaimed "your investment in us was not in vain; as we were transformed, so too are we transforming our community for our children." Then we heard from Providence, a mother of 3, who previously worked odd jobs to eke out a living to survive. Now she has over 600 chickens, earns $100/month, and employs 5 others to work for her small egg business... with dreams of scaling her business into the thousands. When I congratulated her, she gave me a cheeky smile and said "if you like what you see now, come back in another year and you'll be even more amazed." In both cases, the community members themselves were carrying on the work... they were ready to seize opportunities as well as face any challenges that may lay ahead. Now, THAT is sustained success.

One year ago, wildfires devastated Maui, leaving many without homes and hope. 💔🌺 Thanks to generous support, we have served over 27,000 local people, providing essential supplies, housing, mental health support, and more. But our work isn't done yet. Together, we can continue to restore and rebuild. Join us in making a lasting impact: bit.ly/WVinMaui 🙏 #WVinMaui

Yesterday, the Gerber team packed 240 backpacks for children in need in record time: 25 minutes! The backpacks were filled with notebooks, pens, rulers, and other school supplies, and we loved being able to partner with World Vision on this project!

These Samburu women told me repeatedly there was nothing good about hauling 88 lbs of water everyday 11 miles but they were fine in doing it one more time so we could see what they used to do before World Vision USA brought their community a permanent water source. A break in our journey called for a song.

What a privilege it is to align products being manufactured specifically for donation, in meeting the needs of those displaced from a disaster or other issues. The one fact is, these people receiving beds are always due a cause of circumstances out of their immediate control. Congrats Scott on 10 years!

Can two eggs a day transform maternal and child health? That’s what Rwanda Deux Oeufs (Two Eggs) aims to find out! World Vision is excited to partner with Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Livestock Systems, the Rwandan government, University of Rwanda, and local communities in this USAID-funded research project with the potential to foster resilience by shaping individual household, community outcomes, and government policies. In the district of Nyagatare, child and maternal malnutrition rates are high. While previous studies have found eating eggs leads to better development outcomes for children, this study will assess whether feeding eggs to pregnant mothers impacts a child’s development, contributing to a better understanding of egg supplementation during pregnancy on child growth. Learn more about the project in this Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Livestock Systems at https://lnkd.in/g-prUTmg. The Deux Oeufs project is a perfect example of the intersection between #healthsystems and #agrifoodsystems that must work together to improve maternal and child health and nutrition outcomes.
