Helping children get back to school in conflict-torn Burkina Faso

It’s the start of the school day in this school in northern Burkina Faso.

 

Children are swarming in to main entrance of the school, before it is time to line up and make their way into their classrooms.

 

Here, EU funding is helping Educo – a Spanish NGO specialised in providing education to children caught up in humanitarian crises – give forcibly displaced pupils access to education.

 

The projects works at strengthening the capacity of schools to take in displaced pupils, train teachers and other school staff, and create safe, protective, inclusive educational spaces for children that promote their learning.
