All children have the right to an education. Yet when disaster strikes, it is often one of the first things put on hold. While saving lives, providing shelter, and ensuring safety come first, education is too often pushed down the priority list—leaving children out of school for months, years, or indefinitely.
At AH&H, we believe education cannot wait until the immediate aftermath passes; it must be part of the response from day one. Getting children back to learning quickly and safely helps entire communities rebuild. It allows parents to return to work, provides children a safe space to heal from trauma and stay protected from exploitation, and ensures all children can continue their education.
Getting children back to school isn’t just about picking up where they left off. It’s about helping children, families and entire communities recover.
