UN Women “Education Services in Za’atari and Azraq Refugee Camps – Phases one, two and three” project focus is to improve the quality of educational services for Syrian refugees through strengthening the existing programs that provide access to educational opportunities for children and adolescents. Additionally, the project aims at increasing Syrian women’s access to sustainable opportunities to generate income, empowering them with the knowledge and skills that will aid them in becoming active contributors and decision makers in their communities as well as increasing their awareness of their rights.

ASK designed and developed the four following programs below:

-
Adults Basic Skills: Focused on building the skills of partially literate and illiterate women in four subject literacy areas: Arabic, English, Basic Numeracy, and Basic ICT.
