Education

As Save the Children Türkiye, with the financial support from MANGO and in collaboration with Mavi Kalem Association, we aim to strengthen access to education for children living in Esenyurt, enhance their well-being through child protection and psychosocial support services, and promote social cohesion.

As Save the Children Türkiye, in cooperation with Disaster and Emergency Management Authority, the Ministry of National Education, local municipalities and our local partner, we implemented the Climate Awareness and Resilience for Emergencies & Sustainability Project (CARES), a child-centred initiative carried out in collaboration with the Refugees Association in Sultanbeyli, Istanbul.

Millions of children in Sudan have missed nearly 500 days of learning since the war started in April 2023 in what has become one of the world’s longest school closures, surpassing the worst shutdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The armed conflict in Northern Mozambique has triggered a severe child rights crisis, leaving 441,721 children and 5,365 teachers in urgent need of humanitarian education support, with 138 schools closed and 82,800 children having their learning interrupted. Despite the critical scale of this emergency, humanitarian education funding has alarmingly declined over the past four years, dropping from 37.5% coverage in 2022 to just 5.1% in 2025, marking the lowest funding level across all humanitarian clusters. Save the Children, alongside its allies, is therefore demanding urgent action from donors, UN agencies, and government stakeholders to demonstrate their duty of care and commitment to reverse this situation, protect the right of conflict-affected children to safe and uninterrupted learning, and prevent long-term, intergenerational impacts resulting from a lack of education.

This is a message from members of the Children’s Councils to world leaders to highlight one of the impacts of the conflict in Yemen on schools and education, and to stress the importance of implementing the Safe Schools Declaration, in the hope that this will lead to further action and support to protect children’s right to education.

Between January and July 2025, Save the Children Zimbabwe and its partners supported communities to withstand drought, protect livelihoods, and safeguard children’s rights. Farmers in Matobo were equipped with drought-tolerant seeds, animal feed, and improved water systems, helping families recover and sustain their livelihoods. In Bulilima, mothers and children received nutrition support alongside strengthened community health groups, ensuring healthy growth and maternal wellbeing. Across the country, children are gaining new opportunities to read and learn through the distribution of literacy materials, teacher support, and digital learning tools. Communities also became better prepared to prevent cholera outbreaks through mobile awareness campaigns, while child protection structures were strengthened to fight child labour and trafficking. Children themselves played an active role in shaping national conversations on planning and budgeting. These efforts demonstrate Save the Children’s commitment to resilient communities, and a future where every child survives, learns, and is protected.
