Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak in Africa, girls have struggled significantly in being able to access education. This has been caused by many factors, including increased childcare responsibilities and household chores, while their male peers were able to continue their studies from home. When they finish with their chores, girls’ struggle to do their homework because of the lack of sunlight and electricity. To allow girls’ to catch up, we distribute solar lamps to the most in need girls so that they can do their homework and study in the evening.

Somalia has long-standing political instability, armed conflict leading to a sectarian war and environmental stress. 3 million children have been left with no access to education.

We do this by creating access to quality education and training across East Africa and the Horn of Africa for refugees, communities affected by conflict, and those who have been marginalised in society.
