At Kaplan, we’ve been supporting the work of Plan International for more than 10 years. We believe passionately in Plan’s mission of ensuring that every child, everywhere has access to education.

We have supported projects that help train teachers in Sierra Leone, give vocational training to older girls in Zimbabwe so they can gain paid employment and most recently, we have begun supporting a project that helps to get children displaced through conflict back to school.

After more than a decade of conflict, the humanitarian crisis in Northeast Nigeria remains one of the most severe in the world today. Across Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states, an estimated 8.7 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance. Children's education is suffering, and it's the most vulnerable children who have been disproportionately affected. Schools that are still open often require children to travel long distances, which puts girls particularly at risk of armed attacks and abductions in Adamawa and Yobe. The need for assistance has never been greater.

Through this project, girls and boys will get a better start in life through quality education. This will be achieved through:

- The construction of over 200, fully equipped, informal learning centres. Key to this will be the inclusion of hygienic, gender-sensitive toilets to facilitate adolescent girls' attendance.

- Teacher training programmes with gender-inclusive education practises and community awareness campaigns to boost enrolment, attendance and retention of girls and children with disabilities.

- School clubs and life skills training for older girls who are at highest risk of dropping out of education entirely.

Kaplan have pledged to support this vital work for the next two years and have committed to raising £100,000. Your support is so appreciated!
