By utilizing an accelerated primary learning model, the project prioritizes girls and children with disabilities in high-dropout, high-poverty, climate-vulnerable areas, addressing the root causes of exclusion through a holistic approach. This strategy integrates foundational education with essential health services, including nutrition, vision, and hygiene support, while empowering 15,000 youth to spearhead climate resilience actions. Together, these efforts create a community-driven ecosystem that ensures the next generation can recover their education and lead their communities toward a more sustainable and resilient future.
