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.
Case Study: Gourma Rharous, MaliApproximately 90% of Gourma Rharous� population are illiterate. Difficult access to schools, poor quality of teaching and low attendance rates are the three main reasons why many children miss out on an education.
Islamic Relief has improved access to education in Gourma Rharous, allowing 20,000 children to attend school, by developing the quality of primary and informal education,
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.
Help provide an opportunity to children for a better life.
£50 provides access to primary education to 116 children in Mali.
£4 a day provides agricultural rehabilitation to 9 farming families in Somalia |
