Education for a Girl

Every year, tens of thousands of refugees flee conflict and end up building new lives far from home. In South Sudan, Oxfam and its local partner, are training new teachers and focusing on supporting girls and young mothers to continue their education.  This work is complemented by practical support, such as distributing reusable sanitary pads and installing water taps and private toilets in schools.

Now, these young women will continue to get the education to which they have a right, and to get jobs that pay a living wage and improve their lives.

All of Oxfam’s work aims to change unfair underlying systems, so that everyone has the education, resources, and opportunities they need not just to survive, but thrive.
