Women's Education Partnership

Women’s Education Partnership continues to support disadvantaged women through education despite the devastation of war in Sudan.  We remain committed to funding projects, with our focus shifting more towards South Sudan.

Power to the Powerless through Education

Women’s Education Partnership has been funding educational projects in Sudan and what is now South Sudan, since 1999. Our mission is to improve the lives of women and children, with a particular focus on those from marginalised areas, those experiencing displacement and those will no other support.

In Sudan and South Sudan, literacy rates are significantly lower for women than men. Indeed, many women, displaced through civil unrest or economic hardship, may have had no education at all. Our aim is to empower disadvantaged women so that they may lead better lives. We do this through three main targeted aims:<

– To develop literacy and training programmes<

– To support education programmes to prepare women for higher education<

– To fund university scholarships for women<
