Among Save the Children’s interventions is a 16-month project aimed at reducing barriers to quality and protective education services for at risk and out of school girls and boys in the Gaza Strip. The project focused on enhancing children’s access and retention to quality and safe education opportunities through remedial education, education material support combined with referral pathways to service providers, to children and families exhibiting extreme vulnerabilities.
