Published purpose
This project aims to address barriers that prevent children, particularly girls and nomadic children, from attending school. It focuses on Sudanese states with particularly low rates of school attendance and on states with high nomadic populations. Project activities include: (1) setting up new schools and learning spaces, including provision of gender-sensitive latrines to support girls’ attendance at schools; (2) providing awareness activities to communities to encourage school attendance, particularly for girls; (3) conducting training for teachers and other learning facilitators, and parent-teacher associations, to improve quality of learning and the school system; and (4) supporting schools and learning programs by providing relevant learning materials, including textbooks and dignity kits for older girls to support their attendance in school while menstruating.
