Debra Laxton from the University of Chichester reflects on her trip to Kyaka II refugee settlement in Uganda with Children on the Edge. Working with our team, Debra has been helping to develop and evaluate a play-based programme assessment framework and tool that the local community are rolling out for their early years programme in Uganda.
This month, the children we support in Bangladesh were celebrating a special occasion - the 100th episode of ‘Moja Kids’, their online newsletter.
Each year our Big October Cake Bake is a wonderful opportunity for our amazing supporters to raise money for Children on the Edge by making, eating and sharing delicious cakes and bakes. This year was no different, and we’re grateful to everyone who took part in making it such a success. We are thrilled that Children on the Edge has been welcomed into the Global Schools Forum community. This network of organisations from around the world work to improve education outcomes for children in low and middle income countries. Children on the Edge are supporting our partners, TM Lebanon as they provide food for hundreds of children and families who have been displaced by deadly airstrikes. New cooking stations are now helping to feed more families in Beirut, in addition to the provision of hot meals.

Three years on from the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, the Herat Online School offers a vital lifeline to women and girls in Afghanistan who are cut off from education. The online school brings hope and a chance to connect with the outside world, as they are forced to stay home, out of sight. |
