Help Us Rebuild Renew Roots School
The Renew Roots School was created to provide trauma informed education for children living through devastation, displacement, and loss. Our last school, a place of safety, learning, and healing, was destroyed. Soon after, starvation and severe flooding compounded the losses our families and staff suffered, washing away not just physical structures but a sense of stability for the children and families we serve. But we will not give up, with your help we pivoted into a food distribution program to help our families with continued support.
But Renew Roots does not end there.
We are now preparing to plant our roots in a new location, with plans to open a new School in 2026.
This new school will be built on everything we have learned, carrying forward our commitment to education that centers safety, emotional regulation, creativity, and dignity for children who have survived unimaginable experiences.
Trauma informed education is not a luxury. For children impacted by displacement and disaster, it is essential. It allows learning to happen without fear, helps restore trust, and supports long term healing alongside academic growth.
Attending school is a crucial factor in helping displaced young people recover from trauma
As well as education, the routine of going to school provides students with much needed structure, security and hope
Trauma informed education
War leaves deep scars, especially on young children who have been forced to flee their homes. Beyond the physical dangers, displacement brings fear, loss, and uncertainty—disrupting their sense of security and crucial sense of belonging. At the Renew Roots Foundation, we believe that going to school provides more than access to education but also that it is the path to healing and growth.
Through training in trauma-informed care and education, the teachers we work with understand that connection is key for their students to learn to rebuild their confidence, regain trust, and rediscover hope. Our schools provide safe, nurturing environments where children are supported emotionally and academically.
Your financial support helps us continue this life-changing work. Every donation provides children with access to safe learning spaces, trained teachers and the emotional support they need to heal and to grow.
