Internally displaced boys in Mpati, North Kivu. Many internally displaced children miss out on education and boys often end up being recruited by armed groups. The Mpati area is currently under the control of armed groups. In the Mpati area in North Kivu province, NRC is implementing a multi-sector assistance programme funded by the European Commission (ECHO). The programme aims to improve lives for displaced populations and the most vulnerable host families by offering education, food security and legal assistance. The two ongoing ECHO funded programmes in North and South Kivu provinces, implemented by NRC, are reaching a total of 174. 675 people (25.596 households). Photo credit: Christian Jepsen/NRC.

NRC calls for immediate action on Yemen

In an open letter on the situation in Yemen sent to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, the members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and the EU, NRC expresses great concern over the humanitarian situation in Yemen.

Kevine's teacher is called Benjamin. She likes to read and write in Swahili. She wants to become a teacher when she grows up. “I would like to share knowledge with others and help them grow,” she says. But she lacks pens, exercise books. She has to borrow papers and pencils from her classmates if they have extras. Sometimes she borrows from the teacher if he has additional materials. She is sitting in the classroom with her classmates. They study under the trees. She feels that it is very hard to concentrate because of the passing cars. The dust also interferes with her concentration. The classes are so close to each other that she can hear what is being discussed in the other classes. This makes it hard to focus on her studies. She misses her school life back in Burundi. She used to study in real school building made of cement and had enough learning materials. Her quotes: “What I like at school is Mathematics and writing.” “What I like most is Mathematics and Writing.” “What I like most is to go to school to study Mathematics, to study writing, I want to be a teacher.” “I feel sad because I do not have materials; exercise books and pen and clothes and shoes and school bag.” “I feel very sad because I do not have anything.” “Back home I used to study, I continued studying but because of conflict I stopped going to school.” “In Burundi, we were studying in school buildings. They had cement floor and chairs. But here, we study under trees and we sit on stones.” “We find it hard to concentrate when a car passes, students stop studying and focus on the car.” “I am missing exercise books, clothes, pens and shoes. I am missing them.” Photo: NRC/Ingrid Prestetun

Longing for the schools of their past

Overcrowding and a shortage of classrooms in Tanzania keep many displaced Burundian children from getting a good education.

Returning to a pile of rubble

Valerii lost his home in an instant. Two artillery shells struck the household in February 2015. He, his wife and their two children abandoned it just a few days earlier. In 2016 the family received help from NRC to rebuild their house.
