What is shocking is that their children are left alone on streets, engaging in gang and illicit activities. If we don’t take action now, these children will become dangerous for the refugee community.
To tackle this challenge, since April, 2022, CRI has been running the Book -To -Read campaign. The aim is to support 100+ orphaned children with quality books and free meals in order for them to stay at school. To this goal, we are working closely with school authorities to create libraries coupled with gardens and kitchen (in secondary and primary schools) of the camp of Nduta.
Feeding the children in school with highly nutritious food, has been shown to help raise significantly scholastic results especially among the children coming from the poorest families. The campaign is not an end in itself but is part of our current development plan: promoting school gardens to raise education quality drawing on a successful first experience with one of our partner schools in Baraka-Fizi, DRC. This project seeks to test the approach under the local conditions with a view to convince humanitarian organizations here, particularly UNHCR, The UN Refugee Agency, to adopt the approach on a regional scale. Hence it includes advocacy campaigns at the camp level with the hope to obtain a substantive reduction of school dropout and food costs and significant rises in education results.
