Education & Protection

Helping children feel safe, included, and ready to learn.

1. Making Education Inclusive

Every child has the right to learn. We support girls and children with disabilities to access school, raise awareness about their rights, and train teachers to meet diverse needs.

2. Promoting Children’s Rights

We work with parents, teachers, and community leaders to help them understand their role in protecting and supporting children’s education, especially for those most at risk.

3. Creating Safe Learning Spaces

We improve school infrastructure to help all children access education,and stay in school. By tackling practical barriers like distance from home, unsafe buildings, and inaccessible facilities, we make learning safer and more inclusive.

4. Working in Partnership

We recognise that local communities are best placed to identify solutions to their development needs. We work in partnership with parent teacher associations, schools, and local government to improve education to create solutions that last.
