Early Childhood Education for Yazidi Children in Sinjar

Early childhood education helps children develop resilience, social cohesion, and learning skills, while enabling them to heal from trauma.

Yazidi children have suffered from protracted conflict, captivity, and life in IDP camps. To support their recovery, Nadia’s Initiative and partner Sunrise NGO rehabilitated and reopened Sinjar Kindergarten. The newly opened kindergarten now provides children with numeracy and language lessons in English and Arabic, hygiene awareness sessions, basic geometry lessons, and psychological and nutritional support.
