DOING THE FAMINE HELPS WORLD VISION PROJECTS SUCH AS:

Concepcion Housing Project : Honduras
Poorly built houses in Concepcion, Honduras, let in bad weather and spread disease through poor protection from bugs and pests, ultimately leading to the spread of disease. To improve their health and wellbeing, the Concepcion Housing Project constructs concrete and adobe homes, with ventilated stoves and sanitary outhouses, for 324 families.

New Hope Education project : Cambodia
Many children growing up in Stung Meanchey, a slum area in Cambodia's capital city, Phnom Penn, collect recyclable scraps instead of attending school. The New Hope Education Project teaches parents about the importance of education, runs non-formal classes and provides stationery, uniforms and school meals. It teaches children about their rights through children's clubs and trains teenagers in life and job skills.

Born to Be Free Project : India
Parents struggling to support their families in India are sometimes forced to bond their children into labour in factories, where they make beedis (hand-made cigarettes), ropes, matchsticks or fireworks, in exchange for cash loans to the family. Children are forced to keep working until the family's debt is paid off. This project supports communities as they reintegrate children into the school system or train older children in job skills, child rights and ato advocate against child labour.

Second-chance schooling : Niger
Shortages of qualified teachers, buildings and resources and high population growth mean school enrolment takes place only every second year in Niger. As a result, many students do not start their schooling at the correct time, or miss out on education altogether if they happen to turn 6 (the legal age to start school) in a year the schools are not enrolling. This project provides alternative education for students, mainly girls, who don't go to school. This allows them to join the regular school system at a later date.

Blantyre HIV and AIDS project : Malawi
In Malawi, the highest rates of HIV and AIDS prevalence are found in cities such as Blantyre. Large numbers of children from Blantyre have lost one or both parents due to AIDS, and many others are vulnerable because their parents are ill or their family cares for other children or chronically ill people. Some older children are left to care for their siblings without any adult support.

The Blantyre Urban HIV and AIDS project establishes and teaches committees to provide practical support and care for orphans, vulnerable children and people living with HIV and AIDS. World Vision trains teenagers, teachers and community leaders to educate others about HIV and AIDS, including HIV prevention. World Vision also supports teenagers with job-skills training so they can care for their families.
