Innovation

​​From each partnership and situation, we learn more and are able to share more.  We often scale up innovations and replicate models to new areas, to increase the impact for those who need it most.

• By pioneering the use of ‘Hanifi’ - a written script of the Rohingya language - our learning centres in the world’s largest refugee camp are teaching the children to read and write in their mother  tongue for the very first time. 

• Our award winning Cluster Learning Model is expanding rapidly reaching thousands of Congolese refugee children in Kyaka II refugee camp Uganda, providing high quality, community led, early years education.

• The Play Provision Assessment Toolbox (PPAT), co-created by Children on the Edge, Learn to Play Botswana and the University of Chichester, is designed to help early years programmes see what’s going well, what could be improved, and how to make learning through play even better for every child.

• After 10 years of supporting Child Protection Teams (CPTs) in the slum communities of Jinja, Uganda, we replicated the model, eight hours north in the Karamoja district. Here, poverty is rife and children are severely at risk, but we know this community led approach has the potential to keep children safe, and help them grow.

• Our innovative award winning Digital Education Programme in Bangladesh enables Rohingya refugee children to access meaningful learning. Due to the strength of its impact, the model was implemented on Bhasan Char Island in the Bay of Bengal, and Patna, India.

• Our programmes often receive international recognition and awards for innovation.
