Who are the current beneficiaries of CEOP?

In our community, the presence of vulnerable children—particularly internally displaced children (IPDs) and children with disabilities—remains a pressing concern. These children face numerous challenges that hinder their access to quality education and a brighter future. Thanks to our dedicated outreach initiatives, we have been able to identify and reach out to these vulnerable groups, ensuring they are not left behind.

Through our concerted efforts, we have successfully registered a significant number of these children for education support. This program is more than just providing school supplies or registration; it is a lifeline that offers hope, stability, and the promise of a better tomorrow. By investing in their education today, we are empowering these children to break free from the cycle of vulnerability, discrimination, and marginalization.

Our initiative demonstrates that targeted outreach and inclusive registration processes can make a profound difference. With continued support and expansion of this program, we can reach even more children in need, ensuring that every child, regardless of their circumstances, has access to education. Together, we can build a more equitable society where every child's potential is recognized and nurtured.
