Empowering Teachers in Sinjar through Professional Development

Nadia’s Initiative is improving volunteer lecturers’ ability to effectively support students in Sinjar by facilitating comprehensive trainings in student-centric teaching methods and child protection for 600 teachers.

After ISIS’ destruction of the region in 2014, many full-time teachers moved out of Sinjar, which left a big gap in the education sector. This gap was filled by educated Sinjaris who devote their free time to students voluntarily, though they lack technical support and training.

With funding from USAID, Nadia’s Initiative is supporting these teachers to improve their skills, acknowledging the critical services they are providing to children in the region.
