Additional Information / Shotlist
1
00:00:00,033 --> 00:00:02,033
I'm here at
one of the girls schools

2
00:00:02,033 --> 00:00:03,733
in Nyala
in South Darfur.

3
00:00:04,033 --> 00:00:07,266
The school was closed
for a certain

4
00:00:07,433 --> 00:00:09,000
period of time
in the beginning

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,700
of the conflict
that's been

6
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:13,766
raging across
Sudan since April 2023.

7
00:00:14,166 --> 00:00:15,733
When the school
reopened,

8
00:00:15,933 --> 00:00:17,166
one of the big
challenges

9
00:00:17,166 --> 00:00:19,200
that they faced was
that there was no food

10
00:00:19,366 --> 00:00:20,100
for the children.

11
00:00:20,433 --> 00:00:22,266
So we have now
signed, agreements

12
00:00:22,566 --> 00:00:24,033
with a number
of different community

13
00:00:24,033 --> 00:00:26,366
based organizations,
including this group

14
00:00:26,533 --> 00:00:27,733
Baladna
organization.

15
00:00:27,966 --> 00:00:29,166
We're now
supporting these school

16
00:00:29,166 --> 00:00:31,900
feeding programs in
12 schools across Nyala

17
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:33,733
in different locations.

18
00:00:34,066 --> 00:00:35,733
And what we have seen
is that the school

19
00:00:35,733 --> 00:00:37,033
attendance has gone up.

20
00:00:37,366 --> 00:00:39,233
The children are able
to stay at school

21
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,166
for the whole day.

22
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:40,566
They they're able

23
00:00:40,566 --> 00:00:42,000
to concentrate
on their studies

24
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,200
and they're able to get
through their exams.

25
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,166
The fact that
these children are now

26
00:00:46,166 --> 00:00:47,266
able to come to school,

27
00:00:47,466 --> 00:00:48,833
they can get through
the school day,

28
00:00:48,833 --> 00:00:50,400
they can go through
their exams,

29
00:00:50,733 --> 00:00:52,900
means that
their future is brighter

30
00:00:53,233 --> 00:00:54,500
and that they have
a chance.

31
00:00:54,833 --> 00:00:56,333
Once this conflict
is over,

32
00:00:56,533 --> 00:00:58,433
to rebuild their lives
and to continue

33
00:00:58,700 --> 00:00:59,633
on with their studies

34
00:00:59,833 --> 00:01:01,600
and to continue
into their future.
