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.

Written by Sarah Ndlovu International Education Specialist Children on the Edge 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.
