LWF's response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak

Photo Essay: Education in Conflict – One Year Later

In 2013, the LWF supported by the EU Children of Peace initiative started education programs for refugee children in Ajoung Thok and Maban, South Sudan. One and a half years later the first group of 202 students in Ajoung Thok completed their primary level exams.

As the conflicts in South Sudan and the Sudanese Nuba mountains are on-going, the influx of refugees to the camps in the Greater Upper Nile region has increased. Providing children with basic education, child protection and child-friendly spaces has become even more important as many of the children are in danger of being exploited through child labor, early marriage and recruitment into armed forces.

Being able to learn and play helps the children keep the vision of a future without conflict and a life in peace.
