NAPAD continues to implement the Education in Emergencies program for displaced children in Banadir. This program is being carried out in six schools that host over 2,000 children from displaced households. However, we are facing challenges, particularly in terms of funding and educational resources to sustain the provision of quality education to the vulnerable and at risk children
In addition, the number of displaced families and their children is increasing due to climate change impacting agro-pastoralist livelihoods, conflicts, and forced evictions within the IDP settlements. Schools in Internally Displaced settlements continue to be a beacon of hope for these children, providing them with quality, protective, and lifesaving education.
We are actively seeking funding to address the barriers to education for school-aged children living in displaced camps. This includes providing school meals, learning and teaching materials, establishing new learning spaces, and equipping them for newly enrolled students. We are also supporting the menstrual health hygiene of adolescents, as this can lead to school absenteeism and eventually dropping out without proper support.
We invite you to join us in sustaining access to education for our current learners and expanding our efforts to reach other out-of-school displaced learners.
