Agizo, 10, attends NRCâÃÂÃÂs Education programme at a primary school in Masisi, for children displaced by conflict, in Masisi, North Kivu, DR Congo. The Education in Emergencies project will ensure that over 7,000 children across 13 schools in Masisi have access to quality basic education. For many this will be the very first time that they have been given the opportunity to learn in a safe, protective and nurturing space. The schools also provide catch up classes for those who have missed vital time at school, Child Friendly Spaces for young children to go and play, and vocational training such as weaving, sewing and carpentry for older children. Funded by a grant from the European UnionâÃÂÃÂs Nobel Peace prize money, the project will enable these children to begin their recovery from the effects of conflict and support them in building their resilience to cope with their lives ahead.
