Thank you @WFPChief for your leadership at @WFP. Our 30+ year partnership with World Vision matters and together, we reached nearly 8.7 million people last year. We continue to pray for your recovery, and will continue our shared mission to end hunger.
My thoughts are with dear colleagues and friends in #Japan, as news comes in of a powerful earthquake off the country's northern coast. Praying for safety for all those I've met during my visits to the country.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone – especially children – impacted by the devastating fire in Hong Kong's Tai Po district. We’re providing support through our local church partners. May comfort and strength be with all those grieving 🙏
It was an honour to hold talks with Commissioner @dubravkasuica at the European Union. She has been a vocal supporter of child participation. During my trip to Brussels this week, we spoke about our joint focus on children as the EU sets out its plans for the coming years.
Our hearts break for the children of #Sudan as the humanitarian crisis deepends. We must have immediate, safe, and unobstructed access, to bring hope for thousands whose lives are at risk from hunger, disease and conflict. More in our joint statement: https://t.co/hITROj4OUu
We welcome the announcement of a peace deal which paves the way to a long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza, a crucial step toward healing for millions of children whose lives have been torn apart by two years of conflict. Our statement in full:

Honored to welcome the participation of H.E. Gueta Chapo, First Lady of Mozambique, tomorrow at the Annual Prayer Service for Children and Young People during #UNGA80. Let’s unite in prayer for children's dreams, hopes & bright futures to be at the heart of the global agenda.
2024 was the deadliest year for humanitarian workers, doing their utmost to protect and provide for others. Each case is a heart-breaking tragedy. We support the Declaration led by 🇦🇺 @dfat to #ProtectAidWorkers. 🔗https://t.co/jZMOEEBHgX #AidWorkerSafety#HumanitarianProtection

As we mark #WorldHumanitarianDay, I am so proud to serve alongside colleagues who are bringing hope in the most challenging places on earth. I've seen your skill, determination, dedication and sheer hard work shine through – transforming children’s lives forever. #ACTFORHUMANITY
World Vision is calling and praying for immediate peace, and lifesaving aid to reach the children of Gaza and those living in the most conflict affected areas of the world. The images of starving children anywhere in the world breaks the heart of God. No child should go hungry.🙏
Deeply saddened to hear about Pope Francis' death this morning. It was such an honour and a blessing to spend time with him recently. I will never forget his humility, and his unique insights into the immense challenges facing the world right now. 🙏
We join the call for calm in #SouthSudan amidst the rising tensions in some parts of the country & urge unhindered access to children & their communities in conflict-affected areas that urgently need #humanitarian assistance. #WePray for their protection and #peace.
We’re bringing hope in some of the most challenging places for children, thanks to investments from donor governments. It's creating a healthier, more stable world for every child. Our statement on international humanitarian aid funding in full👇

The power of school meals is incredible. It’s the only nutritious meal some children get all day. These meals can transform schools into vibrant places full of learning, where every child can achieve their God-given potential. #ENOUGH#InternationalSchoolMealsDay#ISMD2024
Our hearts break for the children of eastern #DRC being forcibly recruited, armed & executed as violence flares. Our Hidden Hero staff are doing all they can to support and protect children. Join us in praying for peace 🙏 https://t.co/ygy9HcO3Vz
I'm thinking of and praying for all the children I've met in eastern #DRC as violence flares. Our hearts break for the tens of thousands of children in the city of Goma, and nearby camps, who face being forced again from their homes. We're doing all we can to bring hope.
I was deeply moved by @Pontifex's biblical reflection at the Vatican this morning.
I was honoured to attend an audience and speak with His Holiness.
Pope Francis spoke about Luke 1:26-29 – verses close to my heart. We replace fear with hope, in the name of Jesus.
The ceasefire offers a glimmer of hope for a future free from violence. I pray we can work together to build a future where all children can grow up in safety and dignity, and where peace can truly take root. Our reaction in full: https://t.co/1k4KHdeRd7
