Sudan War - $22 Million Education Boost to Help 200,000 Children
The three-year program will help 200,000 children return to learning with safe classrooms, mental health support and aid for girls and children with disabilities.
- On Monday, August 24, 2026, Education Cannot Wait announced a $22 million investment to restore safe, quality education for nearly 200,000 crisis-affected children across West Darfur, South Kordofan, and Gedaref, Sudan.
- Conflict in Sudan since April 2023 forced 14 million people to flee their homes, leaving at least 8 million school-age children out of school, with some missing nearly 500 days of learning.
- Implementation will be led by Save in partnership with local organizations including Alsalam Organisation and Sadagaat, with the program targeting at least 60% girls and 10% children with disabilities.
- ECW Director Maysa Jalbout insisted the investment supports recovery, stating, "This investment is about much more than reopening classrooms," as it helps children regain safety and normalcy during crisis.
- The Sudan initiative aligns with ECW's new "Hope Starts Here" campaign, which seeks to mobilize $600 million to reach 10 million crisis-affected children over the next four years.
