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. During Refugee Week 2024, St James' Primary School in Emsworth hosted an inspiring Enterprise Day to support Children on the Edge, raising nearly £400. Each class, from the youngest Puffins to the oldest Orcas, created and managed stalls from homemade crafts to games and refreshments. The day showcased the students' creativity and generosity, embodying the school's ethos that small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
Congolese refugee children living in Kyaka II refugee settlement in Uganda are cut off from early years education at the most vital stage of their development. Children on the Edge are working alongside refugee communities in the settlement, helping over 5,000 young children access early childhood education through our award-winning cluster learning model.
Guest blog from Sarah Ndlovu, our International Education Specialist about how we’re breaking the mould, and using play to create an effective early years assessment tool in Uganda. In Kyaka II refugee settlement, Uganda, Children on the Edge have been trying to find a better way to assess whether our early years programme is having a positive impact on the children we work with. Are we effectively preparing them for the future? In the ‘mega camps’ of Bangladesh, Rohingya refugees are stuck living in one of the toughest environments on earth. There is little access to education and girls face pressure to stay home. But in spite of this, there is hope. We hear from Bristy, one of our Project Officers in Bangladesh who shares what she and the team are doing to change attitudes and inspire girls to learn.
