  Guest blog by M. Wasay Mir, journalist and videographer who produced a short documentary called 'The Children of Jinja' after spending time with the communities we support in Uganda in 2023.  4 mins read time Muhammad Wasay Mir is an award-winning journalist and videographer.

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.  3 mins read time 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?
  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.
