Education

A key priority is ensuring that vulnerable children, including girls and young children, have equal opportunities to learn and develop. Help a Child South Sudan supports Early Childhood Education by establishing ECD centres that combine learning with child protection, parental engagement and nutrition-related activities, such as school gardening. We also work with teachers, parents and communities to encourage school enrolment, improve attendance and create supportive learning environments. Through initiatives such as What’s Up, Girls?!, we have addressed barriers to girls’ education by strengthening teachers’ skills, providing life-skills training and engaging communities to challenge harmful social and cultural practices.

By combining access to education with child-centred and community-based approaches, Help a Child South Sudan aims to help children build foundational skills, resilience and better prospects for the future.
