📷 How do children see the environment around them?

At Madungu Primary School in Pemba, , environmental education is already part of everyday school life: in lessons dedicated to the topic, students learn about issues such as waste management, pollution, and the use of plastic.
Building on this foundation, through the Kijani Pemba project - co-funded by the European Union in Tanzania - we set them a different kind of challenge: not just to study the environment, but to become storytellers themselves, photographing what they saw as an environmental problem and what could instead be a positive alternative.

The images depicting what isn't working show waste, contaminated water, and pollution. Those picturing the future they'd like to see instead feature trees, plants, and green spaces.

A simple photography exercise thus became an opportunity to give children a voice and to understand how environmental issues weave into their everyday lives.

Today marks six months since the latest escalation of attacks in .

Within days, we responded to the urgent needs of displaced people, adapting our response to the evolving situation—as we have done throughout our 20 years of working alongside communities in Lebanon through different crises and contexts.

But our work is not only about responding to crises. We work with people, listen to their needs and connect emergency support with longer-term solutions. We support communities in taking an active role in shaping their future and work with local actors and institutions to build stronger and more inclusive systems.

Here’s a look at what we have achieved together in Lebanon over the past 20 years.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, going to school in Ukraine has become increasingly difficult. Many school buildings have been damaged or destroyed in attacks, lessons are frequently disrupted, and for millions of children distance learning has become part of everyday life.

Over the past few months, we have distributed tablets and laptops to foster families and care centres in Kyiv supporting children who have lost parental care or come from vulnerable backgrounds.

Having a tablet or laptop allows children to attend lessons from home, access school materials, do research and continue developing their digital skills.

When war makes it harder to get to school, having the right tools to keep learning can make a real difference.

This initiative is part of , a project carried out in collaboration with the
家扶國際服務 TFCF International and our local partners, with the support of the Government of Taiwan

In Naples, for Luca, having spaces means having opportunities: to meet, participate, imagine and create change.

Social, political and community spaces where young people and marginalised communities can come together and build new opportunities from the ground up.

Because when these spaces don’t exist, we can create them.

Watch Luca’s story and listen to the voices of the next generation.

For displaced families in Gaza, the loss of a home is more than the loss of shelter. It also means losing the everyday spaces that make daily life safer, healthier and more dignified.

Simple tasks like washing dishes or preparing food are usually done on sandy or even potentially contaminated ground as families continue to live in makeshift tents with limited access to basic WASH facilities increasing the risk of food- and waterborne diseases.

To address these daily challenge, with the support of UNICEF, we launched a community-led initiative at Al-Awda Camp to construct and distribute 15 raised household washing tables with integrated shelves for vulnerable displaced families. This will allow the washing and drying of dishes, cups and other household utensils on an elevated surface, reducing direct contact with potentially contaminated ground while supporting safer hygiene practices and providing a small but essential part of normalcy and dignity in daily life.

What makes this project different is how it came to life. The community identified the need and community volunteers with the help of our teams are building the tables using materials we supply.

While modest in scale, the initiative our approach to humanitarian response: working alongside communities to identify practical needs and support locally driven solutions to everyday challenges. As these ideas take shape, community members are coming up with new priorities and solutions of their own.

Similar community-led initiatives are being developed to address the challenges displaced communities across Gaza are facing, we will continue to work alongside communities to identify practical needs and support locally driven solutions to everyday challenges.

On World Humanitarian Day, we want to celebrate the work carried out every day by our colleagues in Syria, by sharing their reflections on what it means to be a humanitarian worker.

Through their voices and stories, they share what inspires their work and what it means to stand alongside Syrian communities through years of crisis - communities that, for many of them, are also their own.

Find out more about their reflections here: https://www.weworld.it/en/news-and-stories/insights/what-it-means-to-be-a-humanitarian-worker-in-syria-the-people-behind-weworlds-response

From Palestine to Afghanistan, from Mali to Ukraine, women humanitarian workers face conflict, discrimination, insecurity, and gender stereotypes. Yet they continue to lead, advocate, protect, and build more inclusive responses for the communities they work with.

Today, we shine a light on their work and their commitment, often while facing the very crises they are working to respond to.

Their experiences show that women's leadership is not only about representation. It is about supporting approaches that can shift unequal gender norms and power relations by building on local knowledge, listening to communities, and working with them to drive change.

Swipe through to read their testimonies, featured in our Her Future at Risk series of reports, and explore why investing in women's leadership is key to gender-transformative humanitarian action.

In the Busuma refugee camp in Burundi, thousands of Congolese people have found safety after fleeing mainly from South Kivu - an area affected by repeated clashes.

In this video, Giampaolo Pastorelli, WeWorld Country Director in Burundi, describes the situation at the distribution center where - thanks to the support of the Ambassade des Pays-Bas au Burundi and Vispe - we are carrying out a food assistance intervention with around 100 tonnes of maize flour.

Despite the ongoing response, the food and financial resources available are still not proportionate to the severity of the crisis, with children, women, and the elderly paying the highest price.

We have been working in Burundi since 1995, continuing to stand alongside local communities to fight malnutrition and ensure access to water, sanitation, and hygiene services in a context marked by increasingly complex challenges, including rising migration flows from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

We remain by people’s side, responding to their most urgent needs.
