Protecting Learning When Crisis Disrupts Childhood

Education is more than learning — it is protection, stability, and hope.

In times of crisis, education is often the first thing children lose. Conflict, displacement, natural disasters, and poverty force millions of children out of classrooms, interrupting learning and placing their futures at risk.

At UMMA, education support is delivered as essential humanitarian aid — helping children continue learning, regain stability, and build a future even in the most uncertain conditions.

The Global Education Crisis

Around the world, millions of children are missing out on education due to humanitarian emergencies.

Children face:

• School closures caused by conflict or disaster
• Displacement that interrupts learning for months or years
• Loss of school supplies, uniforms, and safe learning spaces
• Increased risk of child labor and early marriage

When education is disrupted, the impact is long-lasting — affecting not just one child, but entire generations.

Education loss is not temporary.
Without intervention, it becomes permanent.

Our Education Support Approach

At UMMA, education aid is designed to restore access, continuity, and dignity.

Our programs focus on:

• School supply kits for children who have lost everything
• Support for displaced and vulnerable students
• Access to learning during emergencies
• Removing barriers that prevent children from returning to school

Education provides routine, safety, and normalcy — especially for children affected by trauma.
