Education and Child Protection | EAC South Sudan

The Education and Child Protection Program is a flagship initiative of Education Action in Crisis (EAC), designed to ensure that children and youth affected by conflict, displacement, and emergencies in South Sudan can access inclusive, safe, and quality education.

We combine formal and non-formal learning with child protection and psychosocial support, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn, recover, and thrive. Our interventions create safe learning environments, strengthen teacher capacity, and integrate evidence-based approaches informed by research and continuous learning.
