    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.

    "This resilience theme has become a very major theme for us over the last few years, as smallholders are exposed to the increasing degradation of soils, the increasing difficulties of accessing water, and the increasing volatility of weather systems associated with climate change. So, this new release of new or upgraded policies by World Vision, USAID, and others, for us is very timely...." Simon Winter, Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture    As we face escalating environmental challenges, our multi-sectoral resilience framework offers timely and crucial strategies to address these issues. World Vision’s multi-sectoral resilience framework provides actionable insights for addressing the environmental degradation and resource scarcity that threaten livelihoods globally. By integrating resilience into environmental and agricultural practices, we can ensure that communities are better prepared for and can adapt to those challenges. See how these strategies can drive positive change in your work: https://lnkd.in/e5rQffVf    Thank you, Simon, for your keynote at our Road to Resilience Webinar last week. Your perspectives on environmental resilience were essential to the release of our new framework.     #resilientsystems #Sustainability #Development #SustainableDevelopment #MultisectoralResilience

    "We believe that together we can help people, communities, and countries protect and improve their well-being in the face of compounding shocks and stresses, and World Vision’s new framework provides us with a valuable roadmap towards that mutual goal." Mia Beers, USAID, during her keynote at World Vision’s Road to Resilience webinar    During the webinar, Mia highlighted USAID's updated resilience policy, which reiterates the Agency’s goal of reducing humanitarian need in areas of frequent recurrent crises, while also reinforcing resilience as a key priority across all their programming. The policy outlines how the Agency can respond effectively to complex crises with flexible and adaptive approaches that work across a variety of different sectors and types of programming.    We’re looking forward to working with USAID on our shared vision. Our multi-sectoral resilience framework emphasizes collaborative efforts to enhance well-being in vulnerable communities, underscoring the power of partnership and local agency in driving long-term change. By working closely with communities and stakeholders, integrating local strengths, and addressing multi-dimensional risks, we can build solutions that are not only effective but also culturally relevant and sustainable. Discover how this collaborative approach is key to building resilience and fostering lasting impact: https://lnkd.in/e5rQffVf    Thank you, Mia, for your keynote at our Road to Resilience Webinar last week. Your contributions helped make the release of our framework a great success.    #Sustainability #Development #SustainableDevelopment #MultisectoralResilience #resilientsystems

    "FAO embraces all of [World Vision’s multi-sectoral resilience framework’s] six principles, and I'd like to stress increased efforts at FAO, pushing forward along the fifth principle of addressing gender equality and social inclusion." ~ Jocelyn G. Brown Hall, FAO, during her keynote at World Vision’s Road to Resilience webinar    World Vision's multi-sectoral resilience framework highlights six design principles, including a strong emphasis on gender equality and social inclusion (#GESI). GESI is essential for building resilience in communities. World Vision’s focus on these areas within our #resilience approach ensures that all members of a community, especially the most marginalized, are empowered and supported. By addressing this and other key issues, we can create more equitable and resilient communities. Dive into our framework and other resources to see how we're making a difference and contributing to sustainable development: https://lnkd.in/e5rQffVf    Thank you, Jocelyn, for your keynote at our Road to Resilience Webinar on July 11. Your emphasis on gender equality and social inclusion was a highlight of our discussion.    #resilientsystems #Sustainability #Development #SustainableDevelopment #MultisectoralResilience

    These photographs, taken by youth with disabilities, tell powerful stories. The youth took the photographs, which were showcased earlier this week at the Global Disability Inclusion Forum in Malawi, during a creative writing and photography workshop as part of World Vision’s Able to Thrive program, empowering them to report issues affecting their communities through storytelling and visual art. Ten youth with disabilities were trained in creative writing and photography skills, equipping them to use their new skills to highlight and report various forms of abuse and challenges they face in their communities. Beyond creative arts, the workshop also emphasized the importance of their rights and the need for education. During the training, staff discovered many of the children with disabilities in attendance did not attend school. In response, the Able to Thrive project has initiated a program to equip and empower their caregivers to support their children’s education. The Able to Thrive project works with more than 2,500 children with disabilities and their caregivers across several districts in Malawi with the goal of improving the well-being of the children by promoting access to quality, inclusive education, and supporting their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.  Check out a handful of the inspiring photos and witness a journey of empowerment and advocacy! Learn more about the Forum and the incredible work being done to create inclusive communities in Malawi and around the world: https://lnkd.in/gjZ2XRvY     Photo captions:  🔸 Government and NGOs must commit to ensuring that children with visual impairment are well supported with education amenities.  🔸 Children have the right to various forms of play, including dancing.  🔸 Most children in rural communities fetch water from unprotected sources, making them susceptible to water borne diseases like diarrhea.  🔸 Government, NGOs, and well-wishers must help create a conducive learning environment by constructing more classroom blocks.  🔸 World Vision is promoting age-appropriate literacy skills among school-going children in communities. #innovation #sustanability #disabilityinclusion World Vision Malawi
