Prepared to Care: How SISQ was inspired by HE Sheikha Moza bint
Nasser
“EDUCATING THE MIND WITHOUT EDUCATING THE HEART IS USELESS” ARISTOTLE
258 million
This is the number of children who were out of school in 2018 according to Unesco.
And, according to Unesco, 59 million of these children are primary school aged.
In November 2012, HE Sheikha Moza bint Nasser started Education Above All with
the dream of ensuring that every child would receive at least a primary school
education.
At SISQ, we are deeply honoured to be a part of this excellent initiative that has
touched the lives of over 10 million young people in countries as diverse as Qatar,
Ethiopia, Cambodia and 48 other countries.
So how can our young people at SISQ play a meaningful role as global citizens
and proud members of Qatari society?
For us, the answer lies within the name of the organisation that inspired us:
Education Above All. We needed to educate ourselves about…well…education!
We needed to reflect on why so many people do not have access to this basic
human right and we needed to share this with our community.
HE Sheikha Moza bint Nasser
That is why this issue is dedicated to creating awareness about barriers to education
and how we can make a meaningful impact.

PREPARED TO CARE
What are our own barriers to
education?
Ignorance.
For so many people, this word is an insult. But the fact
is, you can’t blame people for what they don’t know.
And people cannot educate themselves effectively if
they don’t have access to information.
The SISQ community has so many reasons to be
grateful and we have a responsibility to share our
blessings but this is only possible if we know what the
situation requires from us.
Quite simply, we need to understand the problem and
that means that we need material in our own
languages.
As such, this is the first edition of our research journal
that has been written in multiple languages so that we
can join together as GLOBAL CITIZENS to partner with
a truly worthy organisation.

Education
Above All
THE INFORMATION IN
THIS TEXT IS FROM AN
INTERVIEW WITH MR
MOUSAB S. KERWAT
FROM THE FUNDRAISING
TEAM AND THE
EDUCATION ABOVE ALL
WEBSITE WHICH
INCLUDES LINKS TO THE
UN, UNESCO, UNHCR
AND UNITED WORLD
SCHOOLS.
Education above all is a non-profit
organization dedicated to helping
children reach quality education. Their
main goal is to achieve peace and
prosperity for all through quality
education. The non-profit was officially
launched on the 17th October 2012 after
a few years of thorough research and
An example of the work done by Education Above All
planning by the originator of the Idea,
Sheika Moza bint Nasser.
The organisation is currently working in
over 55 countries with more than 70
partners. The charity does not spend any
money on advertising and it is up to
some companies to help the cause and
spread the word. One such example is
Qatar Airways who provides advertising
for free and matches all donations made
by passengers 1 to 1, which is very
impressive considering the output of the
charity just from the airline itself.

What is their global impact?
Which countries benefit?
Education above all works mainly in Africa and Asia, but only after
the humanitarian relief organisations have moved away. They then
work in conjunction with the government of that country to resolve
any issues and get to work on a plan for helping out schools. One
such example is in Bangladesh where there had recently been
flooding and they had to organise transportation,
mainly by boat, which was then used to transport
and teach students on the way to school as the
journey usually took an hour through the clogged
streets. Each scenario requires a different method
and plan to overcome certain problems.
Education above all has accommodated this fact
and has tried to remain as flexible as possible
while remaining as true to their original purpose
as possible. Another program they have initiated
is university scholarships for universities in Qatar.
This program is called Al Fakhoora and it has helped 7,385
students receive a scholarship free of charge to come
learn in Qatar. This initiative is providing higher education in 6
countries after immediate success in its developmental phase in
Palestine.
“Education Above All
has helped over 9.2
million children”
Education Above All has helped over 9.2 million children across
the world and currently has plans in place for 10.4 million children
to be educated across the globe. But this milestone, however
impressive, is nowhere near the number of children there are out of
school. There are 59 million children who have
not been reached out to and this is unacceptable.
In the words of Sheikha Moza herself; Every child
has the right to quality education. It is number 4
on the UN’s list of sustainable development goals
and is a basic human right.
The only way that we can achieve this goal is to
work together and this is where our contribution
matters.
According to Mr Kerwat, usually, the projects go on for 3 to 5 years
until the government of the conflicted country can take over the
initiative. But Education Above All has a unique build in the form of
donations. All the money spent goes immediately to the projects.

. Every single dollar spent is automatically
tripled with the help of benefactors and
sponsors. 25 % of the matched money
comes from the ODA (official
development assistance) which is usually
the charity arm of the government such
as UK aid in England. 50 % of the
matched money comes directly from the
partners in this specific area and this
money usually goes towards upkeeping
staff whereas your money usually goes
towards deliveries and other important
areas such as supplying boats for the
children in Bangladesh.
This guarantees that 100% of your
donations go directly to the children as
the other costs are already sponsored
by governments and the United
Nations.
In total, nearly 50% of out-of-school
children are living in conflict zones. To
protect educational institutions inside
these conflict zones Education above All
has introduced the Protect Education in
Insecurity and Conflict (PEIC) initiative.
During the 40th Human rights council
meeting in Geneva, Switzerland March
2019 this idea was pitched. The OHCHR,
GCPEA, Right to Education Initiative,
EAA provides scholarships to disadvantaged communities.
Child Rights Connect, Governments of
Argentina, Belgium, Japan, Qatar,
Singapore, and Uruguay have all stood
behind this agreement to protect
children and young adults who want to
continue education abroad. This has now
let schools in conflict zones receive
similar status to Media outlets and there
will be warnings before bombings and
attacks. However, this doesn’t work in all
cases and the participating nations have
condemned these events but there is
nothing much more to do other than to
receive even more international
credibility.
In conclusion, Education
Above All is a credible and
effective cause which is highly
effective in helping
education.

L’education avant tout: Un organisme à
but non lucratif pour les enfants -
Michel
Les informations contenues dans ce texte sont tirées d'un entretien avec
M. Mousab S. Kerwat, de l'équipe chargée de la collecte de fonds, et du
site Internet "L'éducation avant tout", qui comprend des liens vers les
écoles de l'un, de l'UNESCO, du UNHCR et les ecoles du Monde Uni.
C’est quoi l’education avant tout?
“Education Above All” est une organisation à but non lucratif qui se consacre à
aider les enfants à accéder à une éducation de qualité. Leur objectif principal est
d'atteindre la paix et la prospérité pour tous grâce à une éducation de qualité.
L'organisation à but non lucratif a été officiellement lancée le 17 octobre 2012
après quelques années de recherche et de planification approfondies par
l'initiatrice de l'idée, Sheika Moza bint Nasser.
L'organisation travaille actuellement dans plus de 55 pays avec plus de 70
partenaires. L'organisation ne dépense pas d'argent pour la publicité et c'est à
certaines entreprises d'aider la cause et de faire passer le message. C'est le cas de
Qatar Airways, qui fournit gratuitement de la publicité et verse une somme
équivalente à tous les dons effectués par les passagers, ce qui est très
impressionnant si l'on considère le rendement de l'organisation caritative par la
seule compagnie aérienne.

OÙ AIDENT-ILS LES ENFANTS DÉFAVORISÉ ?
L'éducation avant tout fonctionne principalement en Afrique et en Asie, mais seulement après le départ des organisations d'aide humanitaire.
Elles travaillent alors en collaboration avec le gouvernement du pays concerné pour résoudre les problèmes et élaborer un plan d'aide aux
écoles. Par exemple, au Bangladesh, où il y a eu récemment des inondations, ils ont dû organiser le transport, principalement par bateau, qui a
ensuite été utilisé pour transporter et enseigner les élèves sur le chemin de l'école, le trajet prenant généralement une heure dans les rues
encombrées. Chaque scénario exige une méthode et un plan différents pour surmonter certains problèmes. L'éducation, par-dessus tout, s'est
accommodée de ce fait et a essayé de rester aussi flexible que possible tout en restant aussi fidèle que possible à son objectif initial. Un autre
programme qu'ils ont lancé est celui des bourses universitaires pour les universités du Qatar. Ce programme, appelé Al Fakhoora, a permis à 7
385 étudiants de recevoir une bourse gratuite pour venir étudier au Qatar. Cette initiative permet de dispenser un enseignement supérieur dans
six pays après avoir connu un succès immédiat dans sa phase de développement en Palestine.
En général, les projets se poursuivent pendant 3 à 5 ans, jusqu'à ce que le gouvernement du pays en conflit puisse reprendre l'initiative. Mais
c'est surtout l'éducation qui bénéficie d'un apport unique sous la forme de dons. Tout l'argent dépensé va immédiatement aux projets et cela
représente 25% de l'argent dépensé. Chaque dollar dépensé est automatiquement triplé avec l'aide des bienfaiteurs et des sponsors. 25 % des
fonds jumelés proviennent de l'APD (aide publique au développement), qui est généralement la branche caritative du gouvernement, comme
l'aide britannique en Angleterre. 50 % de l'argent provient directement des partenaires dans ce domaine spécifique et cet argent est
généralement destiné au personnel d'entretien, tandis que votre argent est généralement destiné aux livraisons et à d'autres domaines
importants tels que la fourniture de bateaux pour les enfants du Bangladesh.
Au total, près de 50% des enfants non scolarisés vivent dans des zones de conflit. Pour protéger les institutions éducatives à l'intérieur de ces
zones de conflit, l'Éducation pour tous a lancé l'initiative Protéger l'éducation dans l'insécurité et les conflits (PEIC). Cette idée a été lancée lors
de la 40e réunion du Conseil des droits de l'homme à Genève, en Suisse, en mars 2019. Le HCDH, le GCPEA, l'Initiative pour le droit à
l'éducation, Child Rights Connect, les gouvernements de l'Argentine, de la Belgique, du Japon, du Qatar, de Singapour et de l'Uruguay ont tous
soutenu cet accord visant à protéger les enfants et les jeunes adultes qui souhaitent poursuivre leurs études à l'étranger. Grâce à cet accord, les
écoles situées dans des zones de conflit bénéficient désormais d'un statut similaire à celui des médias et des avertissements seront émis avant
les bombardements et les attaques. Cependant, cela ne fonctionne pas dans tous les cas et les nations participantes ont condamné ces
événements, mais il n'y a rien de plus à faire que de recevoir encore plus de crédibilité internationale
En conclusion, L'éducation Avant Tout est une cause crédible et efficace qui permet d'aider efficacement l'éducation.

¿QUÉ ES LA EDUCACIÓN ANTE TODO? - GONZALO
¿Dónde ayudan a las personas necesitadas?
La educación sobre todo es una organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a ayudar a
los niños a alcanzar una educación de calidad. Su principal objetivo es lograr la paz y
la prosperidad para todos mediante una educación de calidad. La organización sin
fines de lucro se lanzó oficialmente el 17 de octubre de 2012 después de unos años
de investigación y planificación exhaustivas por parte de la creadora de la Idea,
Sheika Moza bint Nasser.
La organización trabaja actualmente en más de 55 países con más de 70 socios. La
organización benéfica no gasta dinero en publicidad y depende de algunas
empresas ayudar a la causa y difundir la palabra. Un ejemplo de ello es Qatar
Airways, que ofrece publicidad gratuita y equipara todas las donaciones realizadas
por los pasajeros 1 a 1, lo cual es muy impresionante teniendo en cuenta el resultado
de la organización benéfica solo de la propia aerolínea
La educación, sobre todo, funciona principalmente en África y Asia, pero solo
después de que las organizaciones de ayuda humanitaria se hayan mudado. Luego
trabajan en conjunto con el gobierno de ese país para resolver cualquier problema y
se ponen a trabajar en un plan para ayudar a las escuelas. Un ejemplo de ello es
Bangladesh, donde recientemente hubo inundaciones y tuvieron que organizar el transporte, principalmente en barco, que luego se utilizó
para transportar y enseñar a los estudiantes de camino a la escuela, ya que el viaje generalmente tomaba una hora por las calles atascadas.
Cada escenario requiere un método y un plan diferentes para superar ciertos problemas. La educación, sobre todo, ha tenido en cuenta este
hecho y ha tratado de permanecer lo más flexible posible sin dejar de ser lo más fiel posible a su propósito original. Otro programa que han
iniciado son las becas universitarias para universidades de Qatar. Este programa se llama Al Fakhoora y ha ayudado a que 7.385 estudiantes
reciban una beca gratuita para venir a aprender en Qatar. Esta iniciativa está proporcionando educación superior en 6 países después del
éxito inmediato en su fase de desarrollo en Palestina.

CUAL ES EL IMPACTO?
generalmente se destina a entregas y otras áreas importantes,
como el suministro de botes para los niños en Bangladesh.
La educación, sobre todo, ha ayudado a más de 9,2 millones de
niños en todo el mundo y actualmente tiene planes para que 10,4
millones de niños sean educados en todo el mundo. Pero este hito,
por impresionante que sea, no se acerca al número de niños que
no asisten a la escuela. Hay 59 millones de niños que no han sido
contactados y esto es inaceptable. En palabras de la propia
Sheikha Moza; Todo niño tiene derecho a una educación de
calidad. Es el número 4 en la lista de objetivos de desarrollo
sostenible de la ONU y es un derecho humano básico.
¿Cómo se gastan mis donaciones?
Por lo general, los proyectos duran de 3 a 5 años hasta que el
gobierno del país en conflicto puede tomar la iniciativa. Pero la
educación, sobre todo, tiene una estructura única en forma de
donaciones. Todo el dinero gastado va inmediatamente a los
proyectos y esto representa el 25% de todo el dinero gastado.
Cada dólar gastado se triplica automáticamente con la ayuda de
benefactores y patrocinadores. El 25% del dinero de contrapartida
proviene de la AOD (asistencia oficial para el desarrollo), que suele
ser el brazo benéfico del gobierno, como la ayuda del Reino Unido
en Inglaterra. El 50% del dinero equivalente proviene directamente
de los socios en esta área específica y este dinero generalmente se
destina al personal de mantenimiento, mientras que su dinero
¿Cómo reciben los proyectos el reconocimiento internacional?
En total, casi el 50% de los niños que no asisten a la escuela viven
en zonas de conflicto. Para proteger las instituciones educativas
dentro de estas zonas de conflicto, Educación por encima de todos
ha introducido la iniciativa Proteger la educación en situaciones de
inseguridad y conflicto (PEIC). Durante la 40a reunión del consejo
de derechos humanos en Ginebra, Suiza, en marzo de 2019, se
presentó esta idea. El ACNUDH, la GCPEA, la Iniciativa por
el Derecho a la Educación, Child Rights Connect, los gobiernos
de Argentina, Bélgica, Japón, Qatar, Singapur y Uruguay
respaldaron este acuerdo para proteger a los niños y jóvenes que
desean continuar su educación en el extranjero. Esto ahora ha
permitido que las escuelas en zonas de conflicto reciban un estatus
similar al de los medios de comunicación y habrá advertencias
antes de bombardeos y ataques. Sin embargo, esto no funciona en
todos los casos y las naciones participantes han condenado estos
eventos, pero no hay mucho más que hacer que recibir aún más
credibilidad internacional.
En conclusión, la educación ante todo es una causa
creíble y eficaz que es muy eficaz para ayudar a la
educación.

Was ist Education Above All?
MAX
Education above all ist eine Organisation die zuständig ist um Kindern helfen eine richtige
Ausbildung zu erreichen. Ihr großes Ziel ist um Frieden und Fortschritt für alle zu erreichen
durch Ausbildung. Die gemeinnützige Organisation wurde offiziell am 17. Dezember 2012
entworfen, nach ein paar Jahren recherchieren und planen von der entwürferin Sheikha Moza
bint Nasser.
Diese Organisation arbeitet in mehr als 55 Ländern mit über 70 befreundeten Unternehmen.
Kein Geld geht in Richtung Werbung und es befällt auf andere Firmen um gratis Werbung
anzubieten und das Wort verbreiten. Ein solches Beispiel ist Qatar Airways, das Werbung
gratis anbietet und alle Spende 1 zu 1 entspricht, was sehr formidabel ist wenn man sich
überlegt wie viele Personen es betrifft.
Wo helfen sie Menschen die Hilfe brauchen?
Education Above All
Hauptsächlich arbeitet Education above all in Afrika und Asien, aber sie schreiten erst dann
ein wann die humanitären Organisation weg ziehen. Dann arbeiten sie zusammen mit der
Regierung des Landes um irgendwelche Probleme zu lösen und gemeinsam arbeiten sie
dann auf einem Plan um die Schulen zu helfen. Ein Beispiel dafür ist das in Bangladesch es
eine Flut gegeben hat und sie haben Transportation organisiert, und somit brachten sie die
Schulkinder mit dem Boot in die Schule. Die Kinder waren aber so lange auf dem Boot, dass
sie gleich unterrichtet wurden währenddessen sie ihren Weg zum Schulgebäude machten.
Alle Szenarien brauchen unterschiedliche Methoden und einen anderen Plan. Education
above all has damit gerechnet und versucht so flexibel wie möglich zu sein, aber immer noch
im Rahmen der Mission. Ein zweites Programm das sie eingeleitet haben heißt AL Fakhoora
und es bereitet die Gelegenheit dar gratis Stipendien für Universitäten in Qatar zu
bekommen. Letztes Jahr gab es die Möglichkeit 7,385 Studenten, die in Krisenzonen Leben,
um in Qatar studieren können. Diese Initiative bietet Hochschulbildung in sechs Ländern
nach unmittelbarem Erfolg in ihrer Entwicklungsphase in Palästina

WAS IST DIE AUSWIRKUNG?
Education Above all hat insgesamt 9,2 millionen Kindern auf der
ganzen Welt geholfen und hat zur Zeit Pläne um 10,4 millionen
Kindern zu erlernen. Obwohl es sehr große Figuren sind, sind sie
gar nicht nahe genug um alle Kinder der Welt zu helfen. Zur Zeit
gibt es 59 millionen Kinder die noch nicht geholfen worden sind
und das ist inakzeptabel. In den Wörtern Sheikha Moza selbst;
Jedes Kind hat das Recht auf eine Qualitative Ausbildung. Es steht
als Nummer vier auf der liste der UNO ihrer nachhaltigen
Entwicklungsziele und zählt auch als allgemeines Menschliches
Recht
Wie werden meine Spenden Ausgegeben?
Normalerweise, dauern die Projekte drei bis fünf Jahre, bis die
Regierung des Landes die Initiative übernehmen kann. Aber die
Spendeform der Wohltätigkeitsorganisation ist einzigartig. Das
ganze ausgegebene Geld geht direkt zu den Projekten und die
Spenden sind insgesamt 25% des ausgegeben Geldes. Jeder
Dollar der ausgegeben wird, wird automatisch verdreifacht mit der
Hilfe Benefaktoren und Sponsoren. 25% des Geldes kommt dann
noch von der ODA (Official Development Assistance) was
normalerweise die Wohltätigkeitsbranche eines Landes ist, wie UK
aid in England. 50% des Geldes kommt von den Partnern die in der
Umgebung arbeiten. Dieses Geld geht normalerweise zu dem
aufenthalt der Mitarbeiter, währenddessen euer Geld zu den
Lieferungen und andere wichtige Orte hingeht.
Wie bekommen die Projekt internationale Unterstützung?
Insgesamt leben nahe 50% aller Kinder, die nicht in der Schule
sind, in Kriegszonen. Um Ausbildungsinstitutionen zu schützen, hat
Education Above All die Initiative PEIC (Protect Education in
Insecurity and Conflict) eingeführt. Während der 40.
Humanitärenrechtekonferenz in Genf 2019 wurde diese Idee
eingeführt. Die OHCHR, GCPEA, Recht auf Ausbildung Initiative,
Kinderrechte verbinden und die Länder Argentinien, Belgien, Katar,
Japan, Singapur, Schweiz und Uruguay stehen alle hinter der
Vereinigung in der es steht das alle Kinder und junge Erwachsene
die studieren geschützt werden. Mit dieser Vereinbarung
bekommen sie ungefähr den gleichen Schutz wie Medien-outlets,
und das bedeutet dass sie Warnungen bekommen vor einer
Attacke. Aber, es funktioniert nicht in allen Fällen und die
teilnehmenden Länder können nur diese Ereignisse schlecht
verurteilen und nichts mehr was jetzt die frage stellt, Wann
bekommt es mehr internationale Kredibilität?
Zum schluss ist Education Above All eine kredibile Entwicklung, die
sehr wichtig und effektiv ist in der hilfe zu Ausbildung.

Education Above All Programs
GRADE 8 CULTURE STUDIES
This Education For All project and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
(UNRWA) for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East have partnered to provide quality
basic education to Palestinian children in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
According to EAC and EAA, They teach Palestinian refugee children whose education
had been disrupted by the Syrian conflict, providing emergency education, including
psychosocial and recreational support, as well as survival skills.
In my opinion, it is inhumane, cruel, and sad to target homes of families and schools in
a war-torn country. During wartime, children are exposed to terrifying and horrifying
situations, which can lead to posttraumatic stress disorder. In war-affected children,
severe losses and disruptions in their lives lead to high rates of depression and anxiety.
Have you ever asked this to yourselves, “how lucky am I?”
Have you ever considered how fortunate we are at SISQ to have lights and air
conditioning in every room and hallway? What about the internet and the water?
According to UNESCO, only 69 percent of primary schools have electricity, and in less
developed countries, the figure drops to 34 percent. According to UNICEF, only 69
percent of schools have access to drinking water, 63 percent have access to basic
sanitation (toilets, etc.), and only 54 percent have access to basic hygiene (soap and
water).

According to EAA, this project includes the
delivery of learning content adapted to the violent
situation, including core curriculum subjects like
environmental health, personal health and conflict
resolution as well. Another major project activity
was developing a strong system of data collection
and analysis of the situation within the education
sector to better support displaced Palestinian
children in Syria or in neighbouring countries. This
included data on children’s psychosocial needs,
disaster risk, educational capacities, resources,
vulnerabilities and challenges to upholding the
right to education for all affected groups.
Especially with ongoing armed conflict, this is an
efficient way to help young minds.
According to EAC, These children will also be sent
to Lebanon, Jordan, And Syria. Lebanon has long
been a crossroads for trade and political concerns
from a variety of parties. At various times, a diverse
mix of communities and governance issues has
piqued the interest of neighbouring states.
Lebanon has been hosting waves of Palestinian
refugees, as well as Syrians fleeing conflict, putting
a strain on the country's resources.

EAA IN POLISH - ALAN
W ramach tego projektu „Education Above All” EAC i Agencja Narodów Zjednoczonych ds. Pomocy i Pracy (UNRWA) na rzecz uchodźców
palestyńskich na Bliskim Wschodzie współpracują w celu zapewnienia wysokiej jakości podstawowej edukacji palestyńskim dzieciom w Jordanii,
Libanie i Syrii.
Dzieciom uchodźców palestyńskich, których edukację zakłócił konflikt syryjski, Educate A Child zapewniło edukację w nagłych wypadkach, w tym
wsparcie psychospołeczne i rekreacyjne, a także umiejętności przetrwania.
W naszej opinii atakowanie domów rodzin i szkół w rozdartym wojną kraju jest nieludzkie, okrutne i smutne. W czasie wojny dzieci narażone są na
przerażające i przerażające sytuacje, które mogą prowadzić do zespołu stresu pourazowego. U dzieci dotkniętych wojną poważne straty i zakłócenia
w ich życiu prowadzą do wysokiego wskaźnika depresji i lęku.
Czy kiedykolwiek zadaliście sobie pytanie, jakie mam szczęście?
Czy zastanawiałeś się kiedyś, jakie to szczęście, że w SISQ mamy oświetlenie i klimatyzację w każdym pokoju i przedpokoju? A co z internetem i
wodą? Według UNESCO tylko 69 proc. szkół podstawowych ma elektryczność, a w krajach słabiej rozwiniętych liczba ta spada do 34 proc. Według
UNICEF tylko 69 procent szkół ma dostęp do wody pitnej, 63 procent ma dostęp do podstawowych urządzeń sanitarnych (toalety itp.), a tylko 54
procent ma dostęp do podstawowej higieny (mydło i woda).
Wybraliśmy ten projekt, ponieważ pomaga on dzieciom uchodźców palestyńskich, których edukacja została zakłócona przez konflikt w Syrii, ten
projekt zapewniał edukację w sytuacjach kryzysowych, w tym wsparcie psychospołeczne i rekreacyjne, a także umiejętności przetrwania.
Wykorzystano techniki mapowania, aby zidentyfikować dzieci poza szkołą (OOSC); zapewniła systemy wsparcia psychospołecznego i umiejętności
przetrwania, plany studiów i materiały do samodzielnej nauki w zakresie przedmiotów podstawy programowej; wykorzystał edukację alternatywną dla
OOSC; opracował system komunikacji dla alarmów bezpieczeństwa; oraz opracował system monitorowania w celu zapewnienia widoczności i oceny
wyników programu. Udzielanie dzieciom wsparcia psychospołecznego w kontekście ustrukturyzowanych i dostosowanych do wieku zajęć
rekreacyjnych oraz identyfikacja dzieci po traumie i kierowanie ich do doradców psychospołecznych. Obejmuje również dostarczanie treści
edukacyjnych dostosowanych do sytuacji przemocy, w tym przedmiotów podstawy programowej, takich jak zdrowie środowiskowe, zdrowie osobiste
i rozwiązywanie konfliktów. Innym ważnym działaniem w ramach projektu było opracowanie silnego systemu gromadzenia danych i analizy sytuacji w
sektorze edukacji, aby lepiej wspierać przesiedlone dzieci palestyńskie w Syrii lub w krajach sąsiednich. Obejmowały one dane na temat
psychospołecznych potrzeb dzieci, ryzyka katastrof, zdolności edukacyjnych, zasobów, słabych punktów i wyzwań związanych z przestrzeganiem
prawa do edukacji dla wszystkich dotkniętych grup. Jest to skuteczny sposób pomagania młodym umysłom, zwłaszcza w przypadku trwającego
konfliktu zbrojnego.

Te dzieci zostaną również wysłane do Libanu, Jordanii i Syrii. Liban od dawna jest skrzyżowaniem interesów handlowych i
politycznych różnych partii. W różnych okresach różnorodna mieszanka kwestii społeczności i sprawowania rządów wzbudzała
zainteresowanie sąsiednich państw. Liban gościł fale uchodźców palestyńskich, a także Syryjczyków uciekających przed
konfliktem, co obciąża zasoby kraju.
Szacuje się, że dotarł on do ponad 1 150 000 osób w 6 krajach
Przyznano do tej pory 6500 kompleksowych pakietów stypendiów policealnych, licencjackich i magisterskich dla
zmarginalizowanej młodzieży

What is Al

and what
does it do?
What is Al Fakhoora and
what does it do?
Al Fakhoora was founded in
2009 in an effort to assist Gaza
when they were in conflict causing multiple
schools and universities to be demolished
beyond repair. Al Fakhoora sent out various
initiatives which include emergency
medical assistance and reconstructing
buildings. They have also sent out psychosocial
support for the teachers and youth as
well as creating vocation programs for
people with disabilities. Lastly, Al Fakhoora
provides wholesome scholarships for
marginalised youth. This program has had
an active impact in the lives of 300 000
Children return to school in Gaza
thousand people as well as positively
affecting the infrastructure. With all of the
work that it has done, it has become an
essential part of the Gaza educational
support system.
In addition, 102 educational institutes in
Gaza have been reconstructed by Al
Fakhoora’s reconstruction and rehabilitation
programs. This includes various universities,
colleges, technical institutes and public and
private schools. With the success in Gaza, Al
Fakhoora is
expanding and
spreading to different
regions and
replicating this
procedure. The
regions that this
program is spreading
to include Jordan,
Syria, Iraq, Lebanon
and Turkey which has
been done so that
they can support the
Palestiniens and the
Syrian IDPs as well as
the refugees.
Al Fakhoora also has a program called
Dynamic Futures. This proposes higher
scholarships for marginalised youth which
is done with a wholesome scholarship.
Looking ahead, in the next 5 years, the
Dynamic Futures program will allow 7,385
refugee students and internally displaced
people to have access to quality education
that puts attention on civic leadership
development, student services and
economic empowerment.

Why is Al Fakhoora important?
CHINELOTAM
This work is important because of the war and conflict that is being faced. Students
and staff are under constant fear of the shooting and bombings of their school.
People lost their friends and family, got their homes destroyed and gained
psychological trauma. From Gaza, dentistry student Sham Ayman stated that: “The
recent war was even more difficult because it brought us back to the atrocities of
2014. We become afraid of loss because we know what it means”. To add onto this, a
student called Nada Al Ashi said: “To experience the aggression from within when
you don’t know when the next bomb is coming, was a completely different
experience than reading about the war”. Do you think that it’s fair that these kids
have to face this? These statements show that these people have seen and
experienced more than they should have been exposed to
EAA rebuilt schools in Gaza
Even with this danger hanging over their heads, students still feel the need to
educate themselves. The student Nasser Al-Attar said: “A university degree is a
weapon. When the attacks started, I just wanted to take my laptop with me – to
continue my education”. Another example of this is when Wala’ a Jaradah had to
leave her house and was told to collect her most important things, the first thing that
she thought of was her school books. This shows how important education is to
these students. As Malala Yousafzai once said, “With guns you can kill terrorists. With
education, you can kill terroism.” All of this calls attention to the pressing need to
protect schools and education from attack. This will ensure that every student has
access to the right of quality education and can feel safe, secure and protected while
learning.

EDUCATION AND WATER - VANESSA AND ZAYN
Imagine…
Imagine that your school was to call you to tell you that you could
not go to school for a week without reason or an explanation.What
would you think? What emotions would you feel? What action
would you take? What questions would you ask?
Water is something that we often take for granted and don't realize how
necessary it is whether that be comusing water or using water for
everyday activities such as showering,cleaning,cooking and more.
However they are parts of the world that don't have a enough water or
do not have access to clean water this obviously affects their daily lives
but it has a HUGE affect on education
Now imagine, this only happened to the girls.
To most people, a proper learning environment and
education (with the exception of covid-19) can
include going to school daily having restrooms,
lights, wifi and maybe some laptops and
Macbooks.However they are parts of the world
where these things are not possible or accessible
due to warfare and or the environment in which
these children have to live in. These factors make it
extremely difficult for children in these conditions to
have a stable education. This is usually due to the
environment but in this article I will be focusing on one main
component…
Water.
Would you be able to
miss 5-7 days of
school a month and
still succeed? The
answer is “no!”
But girls specifically face it harder than most boys do, this is because in
some parts of the world fetching water for the family is seen as a girl’s
job.
Firstly, the condition in which they have to travel in
order to get the water is often long and tiring.
Some girls in developing countries go six
kilometers per day which is 15 hours per week just
to fetch water meaning that instead of going to
school they will end up going to fetch water for
their family. Secondly, even if these girls do end
up going to school, the majority of the schools
don't have girls only bathrooms or the bathrooms
have contaminated water and are unhygienic. This creates
embarrassment or disgust by the bathrooms and in the end the girls in
developing countries decide to stay home during parts of the month
when they need private facilities.

With this knowledge that we have now, let's put this into perspective. If you were to miss five to seven days of school each month would you be able
to learn properly? The answer is no, this is because you would likely be behind and have to catch up with homework and schoolwork while also having
to continue your day to day life. It is absolutely impossible to function as a regular student like that, you would not only be overworked and extremely
stressed but you would also be miserable at school because of your lack of understanding of your surroundings. This could lower your self esteem
and could cause you to belittle yourself because of something completely natural. All of these factors against girls in developing countries result in
them skipping school or even completely dropping out of school and never returning.

However, for boys they dont face these factors simply due to the fact that they don't own uteruses and don't have to meet the hygienic needs that girls
do. This creates a huge difference between them which is why one out of two girls drop out of school before they reach puberty to avoid
embarrassment. It’s a bit crazy to think that if just a few more hygienic bathrooms for girls were added to schools in some developing countries the
attendance of girls could increase drastically.
What if I told you that there's a way for YOU to help and make a difference in multiple different children's education especially girls?
There is a foundation called educate a child (EAC) which helps educate children who have been marginalized or discriminated against for numerous
reasons we have found a quote that supports this “Children in poverty; those who face social or cultural barriers to education; and those in crisis and
conflict-affected environments” this quote from the organization itself states the cause they are targeting and to the type of children specifically.
Since the beginning of EAC’s project they have started seventy four projects in fifty one different countries worldwide. EAC has also managed to enroll
more than 9.2 million school children into school. EAC and its partners are currently working hard to educate 10 million children and give them full
access to the quality education that they deserve
, for boys they dont face these factors simply due to the fact that they don't own uteruses and don't have to meet the hygienic needs that girls do. This

After reading this article we hope that you realize how
privileged you are and the amount of power you hold with
your privilege and the amount of lives that could be changed
for the better and have an ever lasting effect on them in an
instant. Now that's definitely something to think about the next
time you leave your tap running for more than ten minutes…...
For those of us that do go to school, some people think
that staying home is like vacation, but try spending a day
in their shoes. Over 258 million kids can’t go to school
because of conflicts or because they are in war zones.
Over 129 million girls can’t go to school because of
countries and communities. Poor families often favor
boys when investing in education. In some places,
schools do not meet the safety, hygiene, or sanitation
needs of girls. So think of all the 258 million kids that
can’t go to school, but they would be so excited to go to
school and have a good education.
So if you are like me, you have the money to go to school,
and the schools are all well equipped, take a second and
think about the kids that have nothing and tell yourself
that you are lucky… you are very lucky! - Alex
