Friends Kauu Babe Game (left) and Jalo Modu learn at a child-friendly facility in the conflict-affected community of Bama, Borno State, Nigeria, in October 2023.

The protracted armed conflict in northeast Nigeria has caused millions of children to leave school.  FHI 360 has supported more than 100 children with basic literacy and math instruction through the Strengthening Humanitarian Response and Sustainability in Nigeria (SURE-SN) project.

“I got the feeling they really wanted to be in the classroom,” says Busayo Iruemiobe, the FHI 360 technical officer who took this photo. “It was a choice, as well as being a break in the monotony of camp life.”
