1 billion children (nearly one in two) live in countries at extremely high-risk of climate change impacts. 

Children living in poverty are on the frontlines of this crisis. Climate change amplifies risks to their health, education, wellbeing and survival.

In Kwale County, Kenya, 15-year-old Mwaka has spent many nights hungry because of prolonged drought.

She helps her mother weave baskets to earn money. “I loved school so much. However, I had to drop out as my parents couldn’t afford to cater for my school needs. I saw how hard they tried but things were just tough.” 

Anita (in blue), 11, is a food security champion in her village in Kenya’s Narok County. World Vision taught her parents sustainable farming practices to improve soil health and food production.  

Now, when she’s not busy with school, Anita helps them grow a thriving kitchen garden.
