Physical healing is just the beginning. By nourishing the minds of the future, we can forestall many issues that lead to global conflict. Our education programs are ongoing initiatives that aim to bring learning opportunities to the next generation.

As non-citizens, refugees typically do not have regular access to local public education. Today, with not having enough schools to serve growing populations, and or school closures becoming routine due to pandemics, climate change, and economic instability, digital education is becoming an accepted norm. In a first-of-its-kind project in Jordan, with our EdTech partner Abwaab, we are giving children of displaced and marginalized families access to accredited public education via an online learning platform that conform to the local public school curriculum. 

Background:

Only 2 out of 10 refugee adolescents attend school. (Source: Refugee education in crisis: UNHCR.) In an effort to combat this problem in Jordan and through out the MENAP region, COWF and e-learning platform Abwaab partnered to help refugee and marginalized students continue their high school education at their own pace regardless of their circumstances. A first of its kind initiative, COWF is the only non-profit in Jordan partnered with an accredited education platform.
