Brachial perimeter this way!

World Vision cannot be everywhere, all the time — that's not sustainable, or wise. But what we can do is...
Work with community leaders, incredible volunteers and local government, ensuring they have the systems and skills needed to act, regardless of whether we're there or not.
Our work ensures mighty women such as Muhawe can step up and lead the charge in the fight against malnutrition.
"I screen children and make sure they get treatment. I follow up with families, reminding them that therapeutic food alone isn’t enough. They need a balanced diet too. Only after helping them can, I allow myself to go home," Muhawe explains.
When knowledge is shared, entire villages grow stronger and that's sustainable impact and that's the power of your gift!
