The Muslim Aid education programme underwent a strategic transformation in 2021, transitioning to a Community-Based Model with a central goal of expanding educational access for Out-Of-School Children (OOSC) by integrating them into state schools where feasible. The model encompasses a comprehensive approach that enhances existing components, including WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), protection, safeguarding, and gender mainstreaming, all crucial for holistic child development. The programme places a strong emphasis on boosting the enrolment of out-of-school children in the targeted schools through community mobilisation efforts and collaborative advocacy forums involving key stakeholders, such as the Regional Ministry of Education office, community leaders, local administration, teachers, and parents. These forums address important topics like girl child education, discouraging harmful practices like FGM, cultural barriers to education, child protection, and safeguarding.
