After a decade of civil war, Somalia has been left with a weak government, widespread destruction and few schools. An entire generation has no access to quality schools. And 4 out of every 5 children have no access to any schooling whatsoever.
Concern is increasing access to and quality of schools in Somalia: building schools, training teachers, and enrolling students. Concern works directly with parents, helping communities determine for themselves what community members can afford to pay and how to sustain the schools.
