  3 mins read time In Kyaka II refugee settlement, Uganda, Children on the Edge have been trying to find and develop better ways of assessing whether our early years programme is having a positive impact on the children we work with. Are we effectively preparing them for their unknown and potentially difficult futures? Find out how an innovative new approach is helping make assessments both meaningful and joyful.  Written by Sarah Ndlovu International Education Specialist Children on the Edge   3 mins read time Children on the Edge works to create conditions in which every marginalised child can flourish and thrive no matter where they live and irrespective of the challenging circumstances they face.
We identify children in some of the world’s toughest situations and work alongside local communities to co-create protective environments, so marginalised children can safely live, learn, play and grow. This year, we reached more children than ever before, and saw three of our models of education and child protection replicated to new places, bringing sustainable change on a wider scale.
