Cash Education: Case study Mozambique

Save the Children is implementing a project in Cabo Delgado province that integrates cash assistance into an Education in Emergency support package, with the aim of retaining (or re-enrolling) 2,820 at-risk children in school, including those who were displaced by the armed conflict (IDPs) and resettled in host communities. Financed by ECHO DG , the cash assistance component complements the project’s objective of creating safe school environments. This includes the provision of temporary learning and child-friendly spaces; Teaching in Crisis Contexts and conflict-sensitive and inclusive education training; and teaching kits for teachers; psychosocial programs for children; and supporting the reintegration of children associated with the armed groups. Cash assistance, transferred to the beneficiaries through a mobile wallet system, allows families to purchase the essential foods and non-food items, in addition to purchasing school supplies and uniforms for their school-going children.
