Basic Education
Five refugee-led organisations (RLOs) are transforming their communities by delivering formal education initiatives to refugee children. The schools run by the RLOs, are providing over 2,071 children with unique and quality education opportunities that can help them build better futures. At a global level, UNHCR estimate that half of the 3.5 million refugee children of primary school age do not go to school. This can have severe developmental and psychosocial impact on these young people on top of their experiences of being forcibly displaced. Formal education systems in refugee-hosting countries often cannot meet the demands, as well as there being multiple barriers for refugees enrolling in schools. RLOs are playing a vital role in closing these gaps, however their expertise in delivering formal education is not always formally recognised. Refugee-led organisations are working to ensure that the next generation of children can build better futures for themselves. They want to build more classrooms, ensure teachers are trained properly, and ensure that children can access learning in safe spaces that nurture and protect them. These organisations are coming together despite these challenges to serve their communities meaningfully. Find out more about the progress they’ve made below and read their stories of collective change. The more support they receive, the more they will be able to improve the quality of the learning experience and enroll more children in their schools. Be part of the change and donate today.

Digital Economies
Gaining employment as a refugee is harder than for a national. Refugees face discrimination both in entering the job market and in the monthly salary they receive once entering the job market. Barriers to refugee livelihoods lead to extreme poverty and long-term negative life outcomes. For example, the levels of poverty faced by households in Kakuma in northern Kenya can be illustrated in the behavior of 43% of families who employ immediately harmful coping mechanisms such as spending entire days without eating. However, there are opportunities for refugees to engage in and contribute to local and international economic growth. With the right skills, investments, and networks, refugees are playing a key role in local and international value chains. With improving connectivity and market linkages refugees all over the world are engaging in remote work and generating income online. These refugee-led organizations (RLOs) are collectively empowering youth with digital skills and connecting them with digital employment opportunities thus significantly contributing to their sustainable livelihoods. Facilities improvement, tapping into better internet connectivity, and procuring more and better computers are some of the urgent needs that these RLOs can address with additional funding. We invite donors and other partners to support them with funding of any amount.

At Kalobeyei Initiative for Better Life (K4BLI), we are steadfast in our commitment to equipping refugee and host communities with the skills they need to thrive in today’s technology-driven world. As part of this mission, we are proud to introduce our new digital literacy program for Early Childhood Development (ECD) and Education in Emergencies (EiE) students at Light Academy. This initiative is a pivotal element in our efforts to provide scalable skills that lead to decent work and sustainable community development. In an increasingly digital age, early exposure to technology is crucial for developing the competencies needed to succeed in modern life. This is particularly important in the Education in Emergencies (EiE) context, where children from refugee and host communities often face significant challenges in accessing quality education. Literacy and numeracy remain critical gaps in these communities, exacerbated by inadequate educational infrastructure, a shortage of qualified teachers, and the unregulated movement of populations. Recognizing these challenges, K4BLI has launched a digital literacy program aimed at enhancing both literacy and numeracy for these vulnerable students. By integrating digital learning into the curriculum, we aim to address these educational gaps and provide a sustainable solution that empowers young learners to overcome the obstacles they face. The digital literacy curriculum at Light Academy covers essential topics, including basic computer skills, internet safety, and an introduction to educational software. Designed to be interactive, the program engages students through hands-on learning experiences that foster curiosity and confidence in using technology. By starting digital education at an early age, we are laying the groundwork for lifelong learning and adaptability in a rapidly evolving world. The response to the program has been overwhelmingly positive, with students showing significant progress in their digital competencies. Teachers have reported increased student engagement and a marked improvement in their ability to navigate digital tools. This initiative aligns with K4BLI’s vision to end dependency through education and empowers the next generation to become active participants in the digital economy. As we continue to expand and enhance our digital literacy offerings, we are committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to develop the skills they need for success in the digital age. At K4BLI, we believe that by investing in education, we are building a brighter, more sustainable future for both refugee and host communities. “This digital literacy program is more than just teaching students how touse technology; it’s about preparing them for a future where digital skillsare essential. The progress we’ve seen in such a short time is a testamentto the potential of these young minds.” — Elisha Bengenya, Head Teacher, K4BLI - Light Academy

Introduction Dzaleka Refugee Camp, situated in Malawi, is home to thousands of refugees from across Africa. In emergency situations like these, education is a vital component of humanitarian response, providing stability, hope, and opportunities for growth. This blog delves into the various educational stages available in our program at Dzaleka, including preschool, primary, secondary, post-secondary, and vocational education. Preschool Education Our Preschool at Dzaleka focuses on providing young children with a safe and nurturing environment to begin their learning journey. Key aspects include: Developmental Foundations: Programs emphasize social, emotional, and cognitive development through play-based learning. Routine and Stability: Establishing a daily routine helps children cope with the uncertainties of displacement. Preparation for Primary School: Early childhood education lays the groundwork for success in primary education. Despite limited resources, dedicated educators and volunteers ensure that children receive the care and education they need to thrive. Primary Education Primary education is a fundamental right and a priority for all children. Our school in the Dzaleka follow the Malawian national curriculum, aiming to: Basic Literacy and Numeracy: Ensuring children acquire essential reading, writing, and math skills. Bilingual Education: Teaching in both Chichewa and English to prepare students for higher education. Inclusive Environment: Promoting inclusivity and understanding among children from diverse backgrounds. Challenges such as overcrowded classrooms and shortages of materials are common leading to not accommodating all the eligible children. However, FOH and stakeholders maximize efforts to address these issues, ensuring access to education for all children. Secondary Education Secondary education at Dzaleka faces more significant challenges due to resource constraints. Nonetheless, efforts are made to: Provide Formal Education: Offering structured secondary education that aligns with national standards. Alternative Learning Opportunities: Creating programs for adolescents who missed earlier education. Examination Preparation: Preparing students for national exams, crucial for further education and job prospects. Secondary schools often rely on external support for textbooks, lab equipment, and other essential resources, enabling students to continue their educational journey. However, only few of those who complete primary school at Dzaleka have access to secondary school due to very limited space. Post-Secondary Education Post-secondary education opportunities, though limited, are vital for empowering refugees with advanced knowledge and skills. Initiatives include: Higher Education Programs: Collaborations with universities and online education platforms to offer certificate and degree programs. Scholarships and Support: Providing financial and academic support to help students access tertiary education. Professional Development: Courses and certifications in fields such as leadership, education, and business. These opportunities are crucial for refugees aspiring to professional careers, offering a path to self-sufficiency and leadership within their communities. Vocational Education With our vocational education FOH equips refugees with practical skills for employment and self-reliance. Key aspects include: Skill Development: Training in trade such as tailoring Empowerment Programs: Special focus on empowering women and youth with marketable skills. Entrepreneurship: Encouraging small business development and entrepreneurial activities. Vocational training programs are essential for providing immediate livelihood opportunities, helping refugees to support themselves and their families. Conclusion Education in emergency situations like at Dzaleka Refugee Camp is a beacon of hope and resilience. Despite numerous challenges, the commitment of our educators, volunteers, and other stakeholders maximizes efforts to help children and adults have access to learning opportunities. From preschool to post-secondary and vocational education, these efforts equip refugees with the knowledge and skills necessary to rebuild their lives, be resilient and contribute positively to society.
