[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Wildfires are becoming more frequent and destructive in many parts of the world. Fueled by extreme heat, drought, dry vegetation, and strong winds, blazes can spread rapidly, destroying homes and communities, and putting children and families at risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

While fire is part of a natural part of many ecosystems, severe wildfire seasons are affecting millions of people each year. Wildfires can leave lasting impacts through displacement, poor air quality, disrupted livelihoods, and emotional trauma.<\/p>\n

When disasters like wildfires strike, World Vision partners with local churches and communities to deliver emergency relief supplies for impacted children and families, including those recovering from the devastating blazes in the Spokane, Washington, region.<\/p>\n
