In Sudan, the conflict has kept a staggering 19 million kids out of school for almost six months now. About 1 in 3 children in the country, around 6.5 million, couldn't go to school due to violence, closing over 10,000 schools in conflict zones. Another 5.5 million kids are waiting to hear if their classrooms can open in less affected areas. Even before the conflict, 7 million children were already out of school in a country dealing with poverty. UNICEF warns that if the war continues, no Sudanese child will go to school soon, putting them at risk of displacement, recruitment by armed groups, and more. Schools aren't just for reading and math; they're also a lifeline for social skills and vital services like healthcare. The conflict has displaced 4.4 million people, including 2.5 million children. Spending on schools is down, teachers haven't been paid, and supplies are lacking. Save the Children says if we don't act fast, this could mean a $26 billion lifetime loss for the kids affected by the war. It's not just a problem now; it's a threat to a whole generation's future in Sudan
