- Today, 125 million children across the world are
out of school, mostly due to poverty, discrimination and lack of resources
Over 870 million adults are illiterate, and two thirds of them
are women
|
Poverty is closely linked to illiteracy - as both cause and consequence.
Without basic literacy or skills the opportunities for people to break free from
the cycle of poverty are limited.
Education opens up opportunities in employment, and lowers the risk of exploitation.
For example, literate farmers are able to sell their crops for a higher price.
Islamic Relief provides access to education or vocational training to provide a
way out of the poverty trap. Islamic Relief has initiated a number of community-based
education projects; working directly with the communities to ensure that the projects
are sustainable and relevant to their needs.
Islamic Relief provide education and training through the following activities:
- Constructing and rehabilitating classrooms and Development Education Centres.
-
Providing equipment for schools and other education centres.
- Training teachers.
-
Supporting school canteens in partnership with WFP, by providing food and kitchen
utensils.
- Training schools to manage their canteens using reports and stock
sheets.
- Providing administrative and financial training to school management
committees.
