School Rehabilitation

Rebuild Hope Through Education

School Rehabilitation: Where Most Needed · Sudan and Gaza

A school is so much more than four walls and a roof. For a child living through war and displacement, it is the centre of their universe: a safe haven where the day has structure, where laughter is allowed, and where the future feels like something to look forward to. In Sudan and Gaza, hundreds of these sanctuaries have been damaged, destroyed, or turned into emergency shelters. Your donation gives children back their space to learn, grow, and just be children again.

Rebuild a School. Restore a Future.

The collapse of educational infrastructure across both regions has created one of the most severe learning crises in modern history.

In Gaza: Satellite assessments from the UN indicate that nearly 93% of all school buildings have sustained damage or been destroyed, with over 80% suffering direct hits. For 658,000 school-aged children, classrooms have been replaced by temporary tents pitched in displacement camps, or by ruined buildings with no desks, books, or doors.

In Sudan: Over 50% of schools across the country remain closed or damaged, with many serving as informal shelters for families fleeing violence. More than 13 million children are currently locked out of education, risking years of lost potential. Where permanent structures cannot yet be restored in Gaza, Human Appeal sets up temporary learning spaces inside displacement camps. In Sudan, we repair damaged classrooms, replace broken roofs, and restore clean water and sanitation.

For children in both countries, the fundamental need is identical: a clean, safe room to walk into every morning, and a community that believes in their future.

More Than Four Walls

Human Appeal's Back to School 2026 initiative directly supports four schools across Sudan and Gaza: two in Sudan (one boys' school and one girls' school) and two learning spaces in Gaza.

Every child who steps through the doors receives a complete back-to-school package, ensuring no family has to choose between buying bread or buying a uniform.

What We Rebuild Together:

• Sudan: Comprehensive structural repairs, fixed roofs, restored bathrooms, and essential classroom furniture. Every enrolled child receives a durable school bag, a complete uniform, sturdy shoes, and learning tools.
• Gaza: Construction and setup of weatherproof temporary learning spaces in displacement camps, or structural repairs to existing buildings. Every student receives a school bag, uniform, clothing, shoes, and core educational supplies.

The Difference a Safe School Makes

When you help repair a school, you aren't just buying concrete and desks. You are changing what tomorrow looks like for an entire community:

• Restored Dignity: Children arrive on their first day wearing new shoes and carrying their own bag, ready to learn alongside their peers.
• Immediate Protection: A child sitting in a supervised classroom is far less vulnerable to trauma, neglect, or exploitation.
• Multi-Generational Impact: A repaired school building doesn't just serve a child today. It stands ready for their younger siblings next year, and the year after that.
• A school that is safe, staffed, and supplied is a school where children show up. And a child in school is a child building a real future.
