Thank you for your commitment to empowering millions of women and girls. You are helping to ensure they have opportunities to reach their potential and build healthier families and communities. Your support of a full range of interventions—from water, food, health, and education to economic development and child protection—allows communities to work toward solutions, improved lives, and renewed hope.
More than 60 percent of people living in extreme poverty are women and girls. World Vision is responding in many of the communities where women and girls struggle the most. Solving the puzzle of poverty requires a full plan and a full range of services—water, food, health, education, economic opportunities, and child protection— in partnership with faith leaders who promote gender equality. Through signature initiatives in these areas, with your partnership, much progress occurred between October 2016 and September 2017.
In this series of studies, Dr. Moucarry, World Vision’s Director of Interfaith Relations, provides guidance on what the Bible says about relating to those from different religious, cultural, socioeconomic, and other backgrounds.

In too many impoverished communities, cultural norms in parenting aren’t built around the transformative love of Christ, and churches don’t focus on kids—or aren’t equipped to teach them in ways they can understand. World Vision has been working with parents and churches for decades—providing training, resources, and support that help children learn and grow in their relationship with Jesus.

The lack of sustainability of community-managed drinking water systems is a major concern in low- and middle-income countries. While water system breakdown is inevitable, some water systems continue to be rehabilitated and provide water for decades while others fail permanently shortly after implementation. Previous studies have shown that water committees and fee collection are critical to sustainability (Fisher 2015, Foster 2013). This study examined successful water systems to identify processes for sustainability.
