Fourteen-year-old Stella is an environmental conservation champion at her school. Her love for nature inspired Stella to join the school’s environment club after being taught about the benefits of trees by one of her teachers that founded the club. The benefits that the children have reaped from the increased tree cover in their school have given them hope for a bright future in their community.
Cutting forests for firewood and farming had ruptured the ecosystem and set off a chain reaction. Fuel-efficient cook stove has shown themselves to be capable of solving many of these problems such as reducing reforestation, indoor pollution at homes, protecting children against respiratory diseases and more.
World Vision’s Tony Rinaudo is the man who championed a reforestation technique over 35 years ago that led to the largest possible environmental transformation across Africa.

Humanitarian needs in Syria are currently at their highest, while funding continues to dwindle year after year. The recent earthquakes of February 6th have only added to their complex layers of suffering, making them more vulnerable to exploitation and abuse, the NGO adds.

World Vision has released a policy brief outlining the dire situation of children and their families in Syria today.
