Amid the flooding crisis in Pakwach, hope and resilience shine through. As waters rise and roads become impassable, young students preparing for their Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) are determined to continue pursuing their dreams. Their journey has been challenging—but they are not alone.

The district recently decided to hire boats to transport students from flood-affected areas, demonstrating a strong commitment to education. Despite limited resources and many logistical challenges, local authorities are working hard to ensure that no student is left behind. Allocating funds for boat transport, while also meeting other pressing needs, underscores their dedication to the future of these young learners.

At WLEDE, we recognize the sacrifices made by both the district and the community to provide a lifeline for these students. Families and local authorities have come together, redirecting resources and making difficult choices to keep education accessible even in the toughest conditions. This effort reminds us of the deep value placed on education and the collective belief that every student deserves a chance to succeed.

This situation also highlights the courage and resilience of the students themselves. Preparing for exams is never easy, but doing so amid flooding and uncertainty shows true determination. These students inspire us, showing that even in hardship, hope and perseverance prevail.

As a community, we stand with the students of Pakwach and their families. Let this moment serve as a beacon of hope and solidarity—a reminder that together, we can overcome even the largest obstacles. WLEDE remains committed to supporting such efforts, advocating for equal access to education, and working with partners to ensure that future generations can thrive, no matter the challenges.

In every challenge, there is an opportunity for resilience, unity, and hope. Let us continue to support these young minds, whose dreams will one day shape our future.
