On behalf of the Education Cannot Wait global fund, we have carried out a Continuing Education Support Programme and inclusive for children affected by the security crisis (Programme d’Appui à une Éducation Continue et inclusive de qualité des enfants affectés par la crise sécuritaire to school children displaced by attacks on their villages, as well as destitute children from host communities in the Boucle du Mouhoun, North Central and East regions.

Schooling displaced children

Our teams in Switzerland and in the field are working to improve access, maintenance and continuity of education, in a safe and protective environment, for displaced school-age children (aged 3-17), refugees and those from vulnerable host families.

Enfants du Monde also supports the Ministry of Education in designing and distributing tools for peace and citizenship education.

Classrooms had to be built and equipped to accommodate the displaced children
