human dignity

Focus on Education

FCA's 71 years of experience indicate that access to quality education is a prerequisite for enhanced livelihoods that contribute to social cohesion and conflict reduction.

Building on the successes of the Finnish education system, FCA works with all levels of society to strengthen and develop better education systems, provide educational pathways throughout humanitarian emergencies, and link what students are learning in the classroom to future employment.

Education for refugee girls a priority

Finn Church Aid, with funding by EU Humanitarian Aid (ECHO), implements a condensed curriculum that allows refugee children who have not been able to attend school for long periods to catch up with their lost school years in Ugandan refugee settlements. Education helps to protect girls from early marriages.

We are extremely worried about the recent developments in #Afghanistan. While FCA has no direct programming in the country, we are mapping out the needs and opportunities and are in constant dialogue with sister agencies.

In #Afghanistan, protecting achievements made especially in girls’ education is urgently important. Girls’ access to education needs to continue. International actors should prioritise Education in Emergencies to Afghanistan.
