education
The ongoing conflict has devastatingly disrupted educational infrastructure in the Nuba Mountains, resulting in significant destruction. While some courageous students have managed to cross into South Sudan to seek refuge and education, the majority remain trapped in caves with their families, losing all hope of pursuing their education. Many dedicated teachers have followed their students to refugee camps, where they strive to continue their work, receiving only rations that barely match their former salaries. This alarming situation is driving a stark rise in illiteracy, which is truly disheartening and poses a dire threat to the future.
Our mission is clear: we are committed to revitalizing education by funding essential coaching programs for 8th-grade students, covering their national examination fees, providing necessary travel allowances to their exam centers in South Sudan, and paying the salaries of high school teachers. Together, we can help restore hope and create brighter futures. Above is a powerful image of our resilient high school students, who embody that hope.
