Progress Report: Fiscal Year 2019 (October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019)

Around the world, children are robbed of an education because of war, violence, poverty, natural disasters, lack of family support, and more. Our projects in Nepal, Syria (Jordan and Lebanon), and Zambia serve as “bridges” for vulnerable children to cross over and begin or continue their education to enhance the quality of their lives.

17,856 people, including 8,831 children, have benefited from our Education projects since they began in October 2016. In FY19, 4,464 new people benefited.

This project in Uganda aims to transform social norms and practices, reduce risks of early marriage, pregnancy, Gender Based Violence (GBV), and HIV infection, and support girls to stay in school.

Progress Report: Fiscal Year 2017 (October 2016 to September 2017)

World Vision’s education projects for children from Nepal, Zambia, and Syria are helping them access learning opportunities through safe classrooms, out-of-school reading groups, and child-friendly spaces. Financial support for school fees, school uniforms, and school supplies encouraged children to stay in school. As children improved their literacy and numeracy, their parents gained a better appreciation for supporting their children’s education to help them be successful in life.

7,839 people including 1,808 children have benefited from our education projects since they began in  October 2016.

World Vision just completed the Ethiopians Fighting Against Child Exploitation (E-FACE) project, funded by the United States Department of Labor, to provide support to the country in addressing child labor. The primary focus centers on education aimed at sustainably reducing the number of children aged 5-17 years old engaged in and at risk of child labor in the weaving, agricultural, and other sectors in Gamo Gofa, Wolaita, and Addis Ababa. The project addressed the needs of over 20,000 children at-risk of and engaged in child labor with education services and over 7,000 households who have children at-risk of or engaged in child labor with better access to profitable markets and credit. Notably, the percent of E-FACE children involved in child labor decreased from 85% to 1.4% over three years, and the enrollment rate of these children increased from 64% to 95.1% over the same time period.  This infographic highlights key impact over the life of the project.
