Don't Let Conflict End Their Education

More than three years after the outbreak of the Manipur conflict in May 2023, thousands of families remain displaced, living in relief camps and rented accommodation with no certainty about when they will be able to return home. For many children, the conflict has stolen not only their homes but also the stability, security, and opportunities that every child deserves.

Every day, parents face heartbreaking choices. With little or no stable income, they struggle to provide enough food and meet basic household needs. Education - once a source of hope for their children - has become a burden they can no longer afford. School fees, uniforms, textbooks, stationery, examination fees, and transportation costs are simply beyond the reach of many displaced families.

Behind every child is a story of loss and resilience. Despite the hardship they have endured, these children continue to dream of becoming teachers, nurses, engineers, and leaders who can help rebuild their communities. They attend school with determination, but many live with the constant fear that they may have to drop out simply because their families cannot afford the cost of learning. Education is far more than attending classes. It gives children a sense of normalcy in the midst of crisis, protects them from the risks associated with prolonged displacement, restores hope, and equips them with the knowledge and confidence to build a better future. Every child who remains in school is one step closer to breaking the cycle of poverty, displacement, and uncertainty.

Your support can change that story. By helping cover essential educational expenses, you will give a displaced child the opportunity to continue learning, to dream without fear, and to believe that their future is still worth fighting for. Together, we can ensure that the legacy of conflict is not a generation deprived of education, but a generation empowered to rebuild their lives with dignity, hope, and resilience.

This campaign will support children from internally displaced families living in relief camps and host communities across conflict-affected areas of Manipur. Priority will be given to children from the most vulnerable households, including widowed mothers, orphaned children, families with disabilities, and households with little or no stable source of income.

Your contribution can make a real difference:

• £50 can provide school supplies, notebooks, and stationery for one child.
• £100 can help purchase a school uniform, shoes, and a school bag.
• £200 can support a child's educational expenses for a school term.
• £300 can help keep one child in school for an entire academic year, covering essential educational costs.

Every donation, regardless of size, helps remove barriers to education and gives a child the opportunity to learn, grow, and dream again.

Together, we can replace uncertainty with opportunity and ensure that conflict does not steal a child's future.
