Turning classrooms in Malakal into places of hope

In Malakal in Upper Nile State, many children have long tried to learn without the most basic tools. At a primary school located inside the Protection of Civilian (PoC) site, pupils once sat on floors or crowded benches, struggling to write, concentrate, and stay motivated. With support from the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO)-funded Education in Emergencies and Child Protection project, that is changing. Desks and learning materials are restoring dignity in the classroom and helping children learn with confidence.
