Education and Advocacy
About Our Education Programs

The Atem Foundation Education and Advocacy Program (EAP) offers young people, women, and communities the opportunity to express their perspectives to the world while working to shift policy and create systemic change to better the lives of individuals around the globe.
By utilizing education, communication, and leadership skills, the EAP engages communities, and co-creates action plans to influence decision-makers while providing vital educational support to constituents worldwide so that everyone has the opportunity to share their story.
Every child has a right to learn.
According to UIS data, 258 million children and youth are out of school worldwide and UNICEF reports an estimated 617 million children worldwide are unable to reach minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics due to disruption in education from armed conflict, natural disasters, health pandemics, and poverty.
The AF EAP works alongside local communities and youth organizations to reach the children and adolescents who remain excluded from their educational avenues. We believe that the youth are the experts in their own experience and are, therefore, critical allies in fighting discrimination, drugs, and other negative influences.
Advocating for the Future
Within the advocacy sector, the AF EAP engages local communities, children, youths, refugees, and community mentors to advocate for neighborhood improvements, policy change, and increased access to critical infrastructure. Our advocacy measures empower communities and constituents to assess their own environments, prioritize pressing problems, and develop and implement plans to advocate for necessary change from local decision-makers and politicians.
We work within national political, economic, and social structures to ensure policies and practices exist in compliance with international standards while working with refugee communities and key stakeholders to provide a space for their voices to be heard so that together we can create positive operational and structural change.
