Every child and adolescent has the right to keep learning, even when an emergency disrupts life in their community. Preparing schools before an adverse event occurs is essential to protect continuity of education, reduce risks and enable a timely and safe response. Through the European Union-funded Horizontes Seguros project, Save the Children supported school communities […]
The early years lay foundations for learning that last throughout a child’s education. Learning begins when a girl points to something and someone follows her gaze; when a mother turns bath time into play; when a father talks, sings or waits for a response. Vroom turns these everyday interactions into learning opportunities through evidence-based practices […]
Inclusive education does not begin when a child with a disability enters the classroom. It begins earlier: when families receive guidance, when an early childhood centre identifies a need at an early stage, and when a school is ready to respond to diversity without separating or excluding children. Between 2022 and 2026, Tukuy Pacha and […]

The challenge […]
Reading can begin with a story, but also with a conversation, a question or a story that a grandmother remembers and shares. Guided by this understanding, the Community Reading Clubs within the Mi Comunidad Lee strategy (meaning “My Community Reads”) have turned spaces in southern Cochabamba into places where children aged 6 to 11 read […]
In this quarterly newsletter, Save the Children Bolivia has chosen to focus on education. We decided to highlight part of the journey we have been building in this field for two reasons. First, because education has once again become highly relevant in a context marked by an economic, social, and political-institutional crisis that disproportionately affects […]
Este boletín trimestral de Save the Children en Bolivia lo quisimos enfocar en la educación. Decidimos mostrar parte del camino que venimos construyendo en este ámbito por dos razones. Primero, por la relevancia que vuelve a tener la educación en nuestro contexto caracterizado por una crisis económica, social y político-institucional que afecta con mayor fuerza […]
