Our work

We support students and teachers across Somaliland, Sudan and South Sudan, working to rebuild education systems disrupted by conflict and displacement.

Our programmes range from teacher development and English language instruction to inclusive secondary education pathways for those who have missed out.

At the heart of our approach is a belief in second chances, practical training, and the transformative power of learning - in classrooms, communities, and beyond.
