Porducare Touchlife Advances Back-to-School Campaign in Conflict-Affected Communities
Porducare Touchlife successfully implemented the second phase of its Back-to-School Campaign in selected communities within the Sawla–Tuna–Kalba District of the Savannah Region, providing educational support and motivation to learners affected by conflict and socio-economic challenges.
The initiative, which builds on earlier community engagement and advocacy activities, aimed to improve access to learning resources and encourage children to remain committed to their education.
The team began the exercise by delivering two chalkboards to Damiyiri School to support teaching and learning. Educational materials were also made available for distribution to learners in the community.
At Gbiniyiri, pupils at the primary school received exercise books, school bags, pencils, and erasers to support their academic work. Although heavy rainfall and the lingering effects of conflict prevented some children from attending school on the day of the exercise, educational materials were set aside and entrusted to teachers for distribution upon their return.
The intervention was later extended to students of Gbiniyiri Junior High School after it was realized that additional learning materials were available. Each student received exercise books, a sports bag, and a pencil, enabling the project to reach more beneficiaries than originally planned.
Beyond the distribution of educational materials, the project incorporated learner mentorship and adolescent health education. Students were engaged on issues including menstrual hygiene, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), teenage pregnancy, and the importance of remaining focused on education despite challenges. Special attention was given to vulnerable learners, including a pregnant student who was encouraged to continue her education and offered further support when needed.
The Back-to-School Campaign reflects Porducare Touchlife's commitment to ensuring that children in vulnerable and conflict-affected communities have access to quality education and the support they need to succeed.
Through partnerships, community engagement, and sustained advocacy, Porducare Touchlife remains dedicated to restoring hope, promoting educational participation, and creating opportunities for every child to learn, thrive, and reach their full potential.
Together, we are building a future where every child has the chance to learn, heal, and succeed. 🌱📚✨
