In the humanitarian sector, the work can be relentless, supporting communities to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies. When a typhoon hits a town, an earthquake rocks a province, or war threatens and displaces families, humanitarian leaders face daunting challenges. You can feel the crushing weight of the world when bearing witness in the face of crises. Yet, we must ensure that children feel safe, loved, and continue learning amidst crisis. But, how?

This is what led us to form Teach For All's Education in Emergencies (EiE) System Leaders Community. In June, 2024, network alumni from Lebanon, Armenia, Qatar, the USA, Australia, Nigeria, Uganda, Germany, the Philippines, India, Bangladesh, the UK, Kenya, Ukraine, and Poland gathered in Manila, united by our shared experiences working in crisis-affected contexts and our passion for education.
