Aden, Yemen.
NRC’s education assistant Malka Mohammed (26) remembers March of 2015 well and how it went from being a joyful month of celebrations and weddings before it turned into a living nightmare. She worked as an English teacher in her home city of Aden when one day her colleague came running to her classroom, knocking madly on the door and shouting: "They’re attacking the city!"

"We evacuated the school, there was a lot of confusion. There was shooting everywhere," she recounts.

Over the next few weeks, it got worse and the fighting drew closer to Malka’s home.

"Every day I heard stories of how people had been killed and I saw the remains of destroyed buildings. It scared me to death. I was particularly afraid during those early morning hours around 5 am when the airstrikes began."

She remembers one day waking up to the screams of the little girl next door.

"I ran out on to the streets without wearing my abaya or even a scarf on my head. I was running like crazy and the street was full of people. It felt like it was going to be the last day on earth, the sky was covered in red lightening."

Malka and her mother ran as fast as they could. They eventually reached a house and were welcomed in by the people living there. They stayed until the next morning.

A stranger helped Malka that day. Now, she is helping others.

As an education assistant in southern Yemen, her job is to make sure children living in the midst of conflict can still access school. Through our education work, we rehabilitate and rebuild schools destroyed by shelling and other attacks, we distribute school materials, teach teachers and organise school feeding.

"We cannot lose education in Yemen. If we lose education, we can lose a whole generation," she says, and continues: "Education is so important, and that’s why we try to support young Yemenis to create a better life for themselves, and a future." Photo: Ingrid Prestetun/NRC

Livet på flykt: Sarah har flyttat 30 gånger på åtta år

Sarah ser på sig själv i spegeln och rättar till sjalen. De sista åtta åren har den 10-åriga syriska flyktingflickan flyttat 30 gånger. Vintern tillbringade hon i ett tält. Tack vare NRC flyttade familjen nyligen in i en 3-rumslägenhet med badrum och kök.

Yazan, is enrolled with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) first cycle of basic literacy and numeracy programme in Lebanon. He is learning English, Arabic, and mathematics. “My favorite subject is Arabic. I think it’s much easier than the English because it’s very hard for me to understand the English words,” Yazan explains.
