Project Needs and Beneficiaries
After the genocide in Darfur, there is fragile peace between the North and South in Sudan and much unresolved conflict. Children in this country urgently need our help. BRAC’s schools address the challenges in Southern Sudan by targeting poor children, street children, nomads, child soldiers, and a majority of girls. BRAC offers an accelerated learning program for children who have never enrolled into primary school or who have dropped out by teaching 5 years of primary school in just 4 years.

2) Female local teachers recruited & trained

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Building capacity among these 175 students will enable them to improve their well-being, grow their incomes, and provide for their families. This project is essential in stabilizing Southern Sudan and preventing the spread of Darfur-like genocide.
Project Message
“The only way we can save Sudan is to educate its children. Give a girl or boy the opportunity to learn and earn a future.”
- Susan Davis, President & CEO, BRAC USA
