Life changing education for refugees in Sudan
Conflict, civil unrest and economic crises in South Sudan have caused almost 800,000 people to flee to neighbouring Sudan, where they face uncertain futures. Islamic Relief is helping to change that for almost 6,000 refugee children.
In West Kordofan, our education project is helping many to return to education. We have created new schools and safe learning spaces, and provided children with the equipment to support their learning.
âAlhamdulillah (praise God) Islamic Relief constructed our school. We no longer face the challenge of overcrowding, and managing the classroom is now easier,â says Rezg Tebeig, principal of Elkharasana School.
âI was very happy when I joined the school, where I can learn properly. I wish to graduate and become a doctor. I want to treat patients for free. Money is not everything, what is important is that people like us live a dignified life,â says Sharkous, a 17-year pupil who fled to Sudan in 2010.
