This project is now complete.
On behalf of the global fund Education Cannot Wait, we ran a programme to support quality, inclusive continuing education for children affected by the security crisis, with the aim of enrolling displaced children following attacks on their villages, as well as disadvantaged children from host communities in the Boucle du Mouhoun, Centre-Nord and East regions.
Providing Displaced Children with Education in a Safe Learning Environment
Our teams in Switzerland and in the field are working to improve access to, retention in and continuity of education, in a safe and protective environment, for school-age children (3-17 years old) who are displaced, refugees or from vulnerable host families.
Enfants du Monde also supports the Ministry of Education in designing and distributing tools for peace and citizenship education.

Our Impact
- Construction and installation of temporary learning spaces and mobile classrooms;
- Opening and operation of alternative education centres and vocational training centres for children and adolescents;

- Provision of scholarships to vulnerable girls.
Protecting Children
We train parent-teacher associations so that families are better able to identify situations that put their children at risk and protect them by making school environments safer.

I was very scared in my village and I was sad not to be able to go to school. Now I’m happy to be in class and I’m not scared anymore.
