| Senegal Rural Water Project, Senegal, Africa. Eleven-year-old Khardiata Sow drinks from the borehole well installed by World Vision in her village of Sam Peul. Before the well was drilled, diseases caused by drinking impure well water and skin irrigations from insufficient bathing plagued the villagers. After a mother gave birth, there often wasn't even enough water to bathe the baby. Khardiata sampling some of the well water. Photo by Karen Homer/World Vision. | |
| Senegal, Africa. Village children playing with water from borehole. "We have clean water and as a result the health of our children is much better," says Nogaye. "Diarrhea is almost non-existent now." World Vision Senegal will expand its well drilling work to East Kaolack, a region in central Senegal, beginning in December, 1995. Since 1986, World Vision has been serving in northern Senegal in the regions of Thies and Louga where the organization has drilled more than 520 borehole wells, providing fresh water to more than 170,000 people.

| Kompong Thom Province, Cambodia. Pheung Sokhin takes notes in her grade 2 class. These children must walk barefoot at least a few kilometers from their home to school. The odds are heavily weighed against them: their parents are illiterate and landmines lie in the surrounding areas. But hunger for knowledge draws them to the wood and thatched building they call school. They learn more than just literature and culture. They learn discipline and to channel their energy to better their lives. To the thatch and wood building World Vision has added five brick and mortar buildings to provide additional classrooms for the children who started coming after World Vision began encouraging parents to send their children to school.

| Kigoma, Tanzania, Africa. As many as 1.000 Zairian refugees are still arriving in western Tanzania despite a global perception the Great Lakes Crisis is over. World Vision is managing two refugee transit centers and a major refugee resettlement center, safe haven to 35,000. A World Vision Tanzania commodities officer counts bags of maize in one of the Rubbhalls at the Nyarugusu Refugee Resettlement Center. Each week UNHCR delivers 86 metric tonnes of maize and 30 metric tonnes of pulses to Nyarugusu for World Vision staff to distribute among the refugees. There are some 40 World Vision Tanzania staff on hand to manage food storage and distribution at Nyarugusu. Photo by Margaret Jephson/World Vision. | |

| Angola, Africa. Twelve-year-old Pinto da Cruz's right leg was blown off by a land mine one night in October 1996 as he went out into the bush surrounding his home to go to the toilet. Pinto is one of 8,000 children who have been injured by an estimated 10 million mines littering Angola's countryside. World Vision mine awareness teams go into villages to teach people about the dangers of mines and unexploded ordinance so boys and girls like Pinto will not have their lives wrecked by this cruel and often deadly legacy of war. World Vision mines awareness instructor Miguel Firmino talks to two small boys about the dangers of landmines as he holds up one of the mines awareness banners.

| Somalia, Africa. A three-year-old girl receiving supplementary food from World Vision at Bu'ale has endured too much suffering. Bandits took her family's possessions. Four of her brothers and sisters died during an agonizing trek for help. Six years after civil war engulfed Somalia, the country is still in a state of anarchy with no government, no courts, no police but plenty of guns. Total lawlessness and a drought-flood cycle that effects much of the country has set thousands of families adrift and in need of relief. A World Vision nutrition staff member weighs Shukri Mohammed Abdi in the handing scale. Both Shukri and Sadya's nutrition status has improved since they arrived in Bu'ale 15 days ago and were placed immediately in World Vision's supplementary feeding program.
