40 Hours? Challenge completed! We can’t thank you enough for stepping up with thousands of Kiwis to take on the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge. But we made this highlights reel to try.

From planting 400 trees in 40 hours and 40 acts of kindness to 40 upcycled outfits and running 40 km, this year's World Vision 40 Hour Challenge was the most creative yet!

You stood strong with families like Pasquela's on the frontlines of the climate crisis and made a massive push to fight the impacts of climate change. Whether you raised $100 or $1,000, it all counts.

This is just the start of your impact

You’ve already equipped 882 farmers to unlock underground forests and regrow trees fast. Thanks to you, more farming families will be able to regenerate their land, grow more food and tackle climate change too.

So far, you’ve helped train 199 young people to restore forests and keep them healthy for years to come. Thank you for helping youth take the lead in activities that transform degraded land into thriving forest.

You’ve helped establish eco-villages in Bangladesh, reaching 2,777 and counting! From composting to green havens for fruit and veg, eco-ovens and more, you’re helping whole villages to become cleaner and greener.

Pasquela’s family are learning climate-smart farming and rebuilding their lives

Pasquela’s family are learning climate-smart farming and rebuilding their lives

Three years ago, a cyclone destroyed Pasquela’s family’s farm, and her parents faced a daily struggle to feed their children. But now, things are changing!

With your help, Pasquela’s family are learning climate-smart farming and have received new seedlings to help them get started.

Farmers in Pasquela’s community are also learning how to unlock underground forests and regrow trees fast. Revived forests can improve soil so farmers can grow more crops, protect water sources during droughts, and prevent landslides during floods.

You’re also helping her community to plan for and respond to extreme weather events. This helps reduce the risks they bring, so everyone has a better chance of surviving the effects of climate change. This is your impact. Thank you!
