When I settled in Uganda, my wish was to go back to school and complete my education. I enrolled St Mary\u2019s Ocea Primary School because it was a non-fee-paying school. After completing primary level seven, I was unable to join secondary school because I didn\u2019t have the funds to support my education, and there was no school that provided free secondary education. The little money I was making went towards supporting my baby.\u201d says Stella, whose daughter is now five years old. <br><br>Settling in Rhino Camp in the Terego district, she never gave up her dream of going back to school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne day as I attended a community awareness session, I heard about the Finn Church Aid cash assistance program for vulnerable school dropouts. I enrolled and was lucky enough to be registered to be part of the program,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"905\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stella-Siina-and-her-baby-sitted-infront-of-her-homestead-1-1-905x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-131030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stella-Siina-and-her-baby-sitted-infront-of-her-homestead-1-1-905x1024.jpeg 905w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stella-Siina-and-her-baby-sitted-infront-of-her-homestead-1-1-424x480.jpeg 424w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stella-Siina-and-her-baby-sitted-infront-of-her-homestead-1-1-768x869.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stella-Siina-and-her-baby-sitted-infront-of-her-homestead-1-1-1357x1536.jpeg 1357w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stella-Siina-and-her-baby-sitted-infront-of-her-homestead-1-1-1809x2048.jpeg 1809w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stella-Siina-and-her-baby-sitted-infront-of-her-homestead-1-1-157x178.jpeg 157w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stella-Siina-and-her-baby-sitted-infront-of-her-homestead-1-1-1920x2173.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stella-Siina-and-her-baby-sitted-infront-of-her-homestead-1-1.jpeg 1949w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 905px) 100vw, 905px\" \/><figcaption>Stella Sina and her daughter in front of their homestead in Rhino Camp, Terego district. <em>Photo by Mercy Koku<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Stella was supported with cash to support her education and was able to enroll in school and purchase all the equipment she needed. She also used part of the money to support her brother and child to enroll in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prices prevent school enrollment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are thousands of school-age refugee children and adolescents in Uganda, but few of them are enrolled in school. High costs prevent many students from receiving an education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Innovative and InClusive accelerated eDucation programmE (INCLUDE) is a project for refugee and host community children. Funded by <a href=\"https:\/\/civil-protection-humanitarian-aid.ec.europa.eu\/index_en\">EU Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid (ECHO)<\/a>, it works to overcome financial barriers to education by providing refugee households with cash assistance for education and scholastics. \u00a0The project is implemented in a consortium of five partners in five refugee-hosting districts of Kyegegwa, Kikuube, Isingiro (South Western Uganda), Terego and Madi Okollo (West Nile).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFCA recognises quality education as a right of every child, but the realisation of this right is most challenging for refugees. Prioritising refugee education yields several benefits in terms of improved well-being and resilience at the individual, community, school, and education sector levels. Therefore, it is a vehicle for protection and societal transformation.\u201d says Wycliffe Nsheka, Country Director\u00a0FCA Uganda.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach child receives cash prior to the start of each school term, given to the family head. The amount received by each child varies from term to term, geographic location, and level of education,\u201d Wycliffe adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selection Criteria<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPriority is given to those facing multiple vulnerabilities, such as teenage mothers, children engaged in child labour, child-headed households and children with disabilities among others,\u201d says Filbert Idha, FCA Uganda\u2019s Education Technical Lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese children must also be found in households assessed to be socio-economically vulnerable based on several criteria. For example: those with large number of of persons who live within the household; many out of school children; lacking gardens for growing crops; no alternative source of income; poor condition of housing or shelter; or sick family members not receiving medical attention due to lack of money,\u201d Filbert adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe talk to the beneficiaries about the purpose of the cash to meet the educational needs of the targeted children in their households. However, the cash transfers remain unconditional and not restricted. This means that they are free to prioritise the needs in the household. As such, this flexibility allowed some households to prioritise treatment of sick children before they are enrolled in school. There has been more benefit in this flexibility than would be if they were restricted,\u201d Wycliffe explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eighty five per cent of formerly out of school refugee children and adolescents supported with cash have enrolled back to school.<br><br>Text: Linda Kabuzire<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cash for education programme keeps Uganda refugees in school Stella was forced to abandon her education when she became a refugee.
