The floods made schools unusable across Bosnia


In Zenica-Doboj Canton, one of the main Save the Children education programme interventions, 29 schools (pre-school, primary and secondary schools) normally attended by over 16,000 students, have been affected with recent flooding. Save the Children will support the Ministry of Education in Zenica-Doboj Canton, our long term partner, in their efforts of clean up and rehabilitation of the affected school premises in order to get them back to serve their main purpose – to be places of safe environment for all children to learn and thrive. In the initial repose, Save the Children will provide hygiene and cleaning materials and tools as well as disinfectants and personal protection kits for staff engaged in clean up.

In the second stage more support will be needed for providing the school furniture and supplies in order to make schools functional for children again.
