World Vision Emergency Fund

Right now, millions of children are displaced by conflict, climate disasters and hunger. But for girls, the risks are even greater.

Education is often the first thing to be disrupted in a crisis, and the last to return. Without school, girls face increased risks of child marriage, child labour, and exploitation. Every day, 23 girls lose their education and childhood to hunger and child marriage.

But this doesn’t have to be their story.

Through the Emergency Fund, you can help girls survive crises today and stay in school for a brighter tomorrow.

With your support, our Emergency Fund can provide urgent aid like food, water, and shelter - while also keeping classrooms open, protecting girls from child marriage, and ensuring they have the tools to thrive beyond crisis.

Together, we can help girls caught in crises rebuild their possibilities of a future filled with safety, learning, and hope.

Our work with girls and families across crisis zones

Keeping girls from getting hungry

Nutritious school meals are a powerful way to support children’s early development, helping them grow, learn, and thrive.

In times of crisis, when hunger is widespread, this support eases families’ burdens and helps keep children in school.

In Malawi, our school feeding programme is reaching 60,000 children aged 3 to 6 across 1,260 community–based childcare centres. Together, we are nourishing young minds and bodies while building a stronger foundation for the future.

Keeping girls learning in school

Our Accelerated Education programmes ensure that girls caught in emergencies can catch up on learning and stay in school. With this support, girls are able to complete six years of school in just three.

By combining education with school meals and cash–based support for families, we create pathways to safety, resilience, and opportunity. Meaning no child has to choose between survival and their future.

Keeping girls safe in crises

We create Child Friendly Spaces where girls can access psychosocial support, strengthen their resilience, and continue their education in safe, nurturing environments during times of crisis.

By integrating holistic child protection into humanitarian responses, we ensure that learning remains a pathway to safety, confidence, and opportunity for girls everywhere.

Keeping girls empowered

When school isn’t an option, opportunity must find a new path. In Cox’s Bazar Refugee Camp, our cash–based assistance and vocational training empower women and girls to build skills and independence beyond the classroom.

Through tailoring workshops and smart investments of their savings, these girls are stitching together a future free from poverty, one stitch at a time.
