Children affected by conflict cannot wait for their education #IndiaNEWS #International
From Ethiopia to Chad and Palestine, Education Cannot Wait (ECW), the UN’s fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises, is helping millions of boys and girls affected by conflict around the world to pursue their dreams.





ECW offers affected children and youth an opportunity to learn free of cost – in safety and without fear –  to grow and reach their full potential.
A journey and a dream

At age nine, Bchiote Moorice fled embattled Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) for her safety.


At only nine years old, Bchiote Moorice and her three younger brothers fled war-torn Democratic Republic of the Congo, (DRC) – without food, water or basic necessities.
After a harrowing escape, Bchiote and her siblings were reunited with their parents, and the entire family relocated to a refugee camp in western Ethiopia.
There, Bchiote and her brothers were finally able to focus on their education through an ECW funded programme delivered by UNICEF Ethiopia.
“I hope to attend university one year from now and work in a big corporate bank,??? she said with a big smile.
Determination for education

Launched to transform an aid system that neglects millions of the most vulnerable children and adolescents, ECW has been able to help many boys and girls like Bchiote.
Shahd (not her real name), like many 11-year-olds her age, has big dreams. She wants to become president, or a doctor, or even the first female Palestinian astronaut.  
But, forced to spend most days receiving treatment at the Augusta Victoria Hospital, her chronic kidney illness loomed over her like a dark rain cloud.
However, Shahd has been able to continue her education at the Determination School – moving ever closer to turning her dreams into reality.
ECW funding has enabled the Palestinian Education Ministry to establish four Determination Schools, which provide flexible education to children unable to participate in regular classes because of chronic illnesses and long-term treatment.  
Some 150 students in Palestine are currently being provided with individualized plans, psychosocial support, and inclusive education to ensure they are not left behind in their studies.
“I would rather go to regular school with other children, but the teachers and nurses at the hospital are very kind, and they make it okay,??? said Shahd.
Perseverance, friendship, potential
