Almost 400,000 Somali Children Could Drop out of School

Almost 400,000 children in Somalia could drop out of school as the ongoing severe drought continues to bite.

CARE International Somalia released a report talking about this issue.

In its report, which came out on May 11, CARE International cites the ongoing drought as a serious problem for the education of children in Somalia.

Drought has grown into a massive challenge in the East African nation.

Combined with the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the growing insecurity in the country, drought has displaced hundreds of thousands of families throughout Somalia.

The displacement means children are no longer able to attend school.
