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.

Activities

1) 5 schools built within 1km of students’ houses 2) Female local teachers recruited & trained 3) 70% of students will be girls 4) Teaching methods include culture, music, dance and games 5) Meetings with parents held to ensure their support
