01 · Education
Strong learning starts with the adults around every child.
We equip educators, school leaders and parents in community learning centres so that children and young people can learn in safe, supportive environments.
Overview
Many displaced and low-income families in Egypt rely on community schools and learning centres that operate with limited resources. Impact works alongside these schools: training teachers and leaders, supporting parents, and bringing socio-emotional learning and safeguarding into everyday classroom practice.
Why it matters
Children who have experienced displacement often carry stress into the classroom. When teachers understand trauma, feel supported themselves and have practical tools, learning becomes possible again — for the whole class.
