Expanding access to inclusive, quality education for children and young people.
Across Somalia, poverty, displacement and limited school infrastructure continue to prevent many children from accessing quality education.
ARD works with communities, education authorities and partners to strengthen schools, support teachers and improve access to safe, inclusive learning environments.
Our programme prioritises vulnerable learners, including orphans, displaced children, girls, children with disabilities and those from low-income families.
Supporting vulnerable and displaced children to enrol and remain in school.
Strengthening teaching, learning materials and school environments.
Supporting girls, children with disabilities and other vulnerable learners.
Improving facilities, WASH, teacher capacity and student wellbeing.
