Education in Crisis (EiC)

George Omer Nalo with Students in Tanzania

Ensuring Every Child Can Enroll and Stay in School

In crisis-affected contexts, millions of children are denied access to education due to displacement, poverty, insecurity, and damaged infrastructure. EiC works to remove these barriers and ensure that children can enroll, attend, and complete their education.

What We Do

  • Support school openings and reopening in displacement and conflict-affected areas
  • Facilitate enrollment and re-enrollment of displaced and out-of-school children
  • Reduce financial barriers through free or subsidized learning options
  • Track attendance and retention to prevent dropouts

Who We Reach

  • Girls and boys affected by conflict, and poverty.
  • Refugees and internally displaced children (IDPs)
  • Children with disabilities
  • Marginalized and hard-to-reach communities

Why It Matters

Access to education is the foundation for protection, dignity, and opportunity. By ensuring access, EiC helps children regain stability and hope.

The education crisis in contexts like Sudan demands a coordinated and urgent response. Reopening schools, restoring infrastructure, and expanding access to inclusive quality learning opportunities both through formal and non-formal pathways are critical to safeguarding the rights and futures of children and young people. In response, EiC focuses on facilitating learning continuity and school reopening through remedial learning programme, digital learning initiatives and capacity building for education stakeholders.

 

Improving Literacy, Numeracy, and Life Skills

Access alone is not enough. EiC focuses on meaningful learning outcomes that equip children with the skills they need to thrive during and beyond crisis.

What We Do

  • Strengthen foundational literacy and numeracy
  • Support age-appropriate and accelerated learning pathways
  • Integrate essential life skills, including communication, problem-solving, and resilience
  • Adapt teaching methods to crisis and low-resource settings
  • Building Confidence: Build students in building self-confidence, to help them realize their academic potential

Our Approach

  • Context-responsive curricula
  • Continuous assessment and learning monitoring
  • Support for learners who have experienced learning loss

Why It Matters

Quality learning empowers children to rebuild their lives, contribute to their communities, and pursue future opportunities.
