The International Rescue Committee has partnered with Care About the Children Sweden and the European Union (EU) to implement a project that will increase access to safe education spaces for children aged 6-12 who are out of school in Bamiyan and Kunduz provinces of Afghanistan.

Migration has been at the top of the European political agenda since 2015 following a spike in people, including refugees and asylum seekers, arriving to southern European countries by sea.
