📍 Mission de l’#ECW en #RDC @EduCannotWait s’est rendu dans un camp de personnes déplacées à #Tchomia, dans la province de l’Ituri, pour évaluer les besoins urgents en éducation. Avec 6K familles déplacées, dont 60 % d’enfants, l’accès à une éducation sûre et de qualité est plus essentiel que jamais. Grâce à un financement de $10M, ECW, en partenariat avec @UNICEFDRC, @DRC_sci, @World_VisionRdc et des organisations locales, soutient la construction de salles de classe, la formation des enseignants et des programmes inclusifs pour les filles et les enfants en situation de handicap. L’éducation sans délai – même en situation de crise. @MinisterEDU_NC #KeepHopeAlive @BMZ_Bund @EU_Partnerships @SwissDevCoop @francediplo @CanadaDev

“#ECW’s MYRP is built through strong collaboration with the Government and with our implementing partners – including @adra_somali, @SaveChildrenSO, @Concern, among others – whose deep community presence and operational expertise are critical to delivering education for the most marginalized children in #Somalia.” ~#ECW's @DianahNelsen 📍Launch of the @EduCannotWait Multi-year Resilience Programme in Mogadishu, #Somalia🇸🇴 #KeepHopeAlive @adrauk @SavetheChildren @moechesomalia

“In #Somalia’s protracted & complex crisis context, flexibility is not optional – it is essential. Since 2016, @EduCannotwait has been a key partner to 🇸🇴, and this new Multi-Year Resilience Programme builds on a decade of partnership to ensure continuity of learning before, during, and after shocks. Every Somali child has the right to learn, thrive & shape the future of their nation.” ~#ECW's @DianahNelsen @adra_somali @SaveChildrenSO @Concern @adrauk @SavetheChildren @moechesomalia #KeepHopeAlive

📣 @EduCannotWait launches a $10M Multi-Year Resilience Programme in #DRCongo, aligned with the government's #EiE strategy reaching +60K crisis-affected children. This visit highlights what’s possible when rapid, multi-year financing meets strong partnerships – with government, civil society, @UN agencies & local/international #NGOs. We have the tools, the partnerships – but urgent financing is needed to take this to scale.

“I stayed home while neighboring kids went to school. I used to watch them pass by with their schoolbags. For a long time, I thought #education was not meant for displaced girls like me. Today, I am at school and very excited about this. I dream of becoming a doctor.” ~Halima Mohamed, 9-year-old girl displaced by floods in Kismayo. Now, through an @EduCannotWait-funded programme implemented by NRC, along with SOS & WARDI, she’s attending primary school in Kismayo, Somalia. #KeepHopeAlive
