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. 

Progress Report: Fiscal Year 2017 (October 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017)

This report celebrates the implementation and progress of three new projects—Syrian Refugee Education, Nepal, and Zambia. The projects you supported focus on the following strategic areas: early childhood development, literacy and basic education, education in fragile and conflict-affected contexts, adolescent life skills and livelihoods, and safe schools.

We envision all school-age children developing literacy, math, and life skills in safe learning environments with quality instruction. Thank you for being part of these
efforts during the first half of fiscal year 2017.

Our ongoing USDOL-funded project focuses on reducing exploitative child labor in fishing, agriculture, and domestic service in Cambodia through educational and livelihoods services for 28,000 children and 14,000 households. In its first 3 years of implementation, it has been successful at increasing enrollment, reducing the dropout rate, and influencing national level policy.

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.
