Makanna Campaign Promotes School Enrolment and the Return to Education

Gedaref State, Sudan — A campaign to register out-of-school children and raise awareness of the importance of returning to education is being implemented under the Mekana initiative in Gedaref Municipality, Gedaref city, and Al Rahad locality.

The campaign focuses on identifying children who are currently out of school, encouraging families to enrol or re-enrol their children in education, and raising community awareness of the importance of learning for children's protection, development, and future opportunities.

Through community outreach and awareness-raising activities, the campaign seeks to strengthen engagement among families, local communities, and relevant stakeholders to address barriers preventing children from accessing education.

Ensuring that children can return to school is particularly important in contexts affected by displacement and other challenges, where access to education may be disrupted. Supporting children's return to learning helps protect their rights, promotes their well-being, and contributes to building more resilient communities.

The campaign reinforces the importance of collective action to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, develop their potential, and build a brighter future.
