Small school supply delivery in Yida Refugee Camp
The war in Sudan has decimated childhood education. Across the border in Yida Refugee Camp, we’re doing our small part to help.
•••••
Today, across Sudan, children are experiencing an education crisis unparalleled in recent history. Most schools have closed from the war, and it’s estimated over 13 million children are out of a classroom. Many may never have the chance to return. Refugee camps like Yida are some of the only places where Sudanese children can safely access education right now.
But even in the camps support for education is scarce due to a veil of silence around these problems. With crises raging in the Middle East and Ukraine, as well as as political turmoil in the United States, there are few Sudan-minded donors today, and even fewer concerned about childhood education.
The good news is that in mid-February our partner River Nile Ministries was able to deliver a small amount of basic supplies to the education office in Yida. All the schools here are severely under-resourced. Providing basic materials like pens and notebooks may not sound super exciting, but it’s helpful for teachers and students who are struggling to forge a better path.
This couldn’t have been possible without your support! Your generosity today helps build stronger classrooms —and brighter futures— for Sudanese children who have already overcome so much.
