Ethiopia
Ethiopia faces some of the most severe barriers to education in East Africa. Poverty prevents many families from affording uniforms and books, while deep-rooted cultural expectations and child marriage keep girls out of school. Today, 1.6 million girls remain out of school, and three in four do not attend secondary education.
Conflict has made the situation even worse. In recent years, thousands of schools have been destroyed, and more than one million children have been displaced. Many are living with trauma, while classrooms in conflict-affected areas are severely under-resourced and overcrowded. Despite these challenges, children are eager to learn, and with the right support, education can restore hope.
The READing Project
The READing Project in the Amhara region is supporting more than 10,000 children, teachers, and families over three years.
The programme strengthens literacy education by introducing child-centred learning strategies, delivering storybooks and play-based resources, and training teachers in effective, inclusive methods. Alongside literacy, the project also provides psychosocial support. Teachers and school leaders are trained in Psychological First Aid, while structured group activities create safe spaces for children to recover from trauma and regain confidence.
The project also rehabilitates classrooms damaged by conflict, equips Girls’ Clubs with new materials, and supplies vulnerable children, including orphans and those with disabilities, with uniforms and stationery so they can remain in school. By working closely with parents, teachers, and community leaders, the programme also addresses barriers such as early marriage, child labour, and gender inequality.
