Project goals and objectives

The 24-month project aims to improve access to safe education and life-saving protection services. Funded by the European Union with approximately €2.7 million, the initiative will be implemented in educational facilities and communities across the West Bank.

Key actions

The project will benefit approximately 17,600 children affected by violence in 61 schools across 10 governorates: Hebron, Jenin, Jericho, Jerusalem, Nablus, Qalqilya, Ramallah, Salfit, Tulkarem, and Tubas. In addition, nearly 1,200 teachers, supervisors, and counsellors, along with 48 community volunteers and 4,000 parents and caregivers, will receive capacity-building training on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) theory and skills. The project will also refer children at risk to specialized child-protection services supporting the existing reporting and referral system. 

The project will support 5,000 children through community-based, face-to-face, catch-up classes designed to help recover from the learning losses experienced over the past year. 

World Vision International will assess the preparedness of the 61 targeted schools to respond to emergencies and incidents of violence, reviewing existing safety protocols to enhance child protection during hazardous situations. Safety plans will be developed collaboratively with students, teachers, community members, and parents. Each school will also receive preparedness kits tailored to the recommendations of its safety plan and specific needs. 30 schools will be prioritized and targeted for rehabilitation interventions, ensuring protective and safe educational environment.
