Education for Malian refugees in Mauritania

Mauritania is the second host country for refugees fleeing Mali. Almost 55 000 people of the 135 000 who have fled Mali are now in Mauritania. Nearly 60 percent of those are children.
As part of efforts to educate the children in Mbera refugee camp, the EU is helping to finance the building of new schools in the camp. According to EU Humanitarian Aid, providing education in emergencies is one of the best ways to invest in children’s long-term future.
