At Hope secondary school and Thong Nhat primary school in IDP Camp 01, Juba, UNMISS police officers and gender experts conducted sessions to raise awareness of the importance of education for 348 secondary and 1,363 primary schoolers. They also offered gender knowledge and gifts to female students.

The MoPS Task Force, through its Women's Union, provided much-needed school supplies for both schools. Nearly 2,000 school supplies like notebooks, pencils, rulers, sharpeners, and pens were distributed to students. Teachers received registration books, chalks, and marking pens.

The UNMISS Police Women Network also donated toys like hula hoops, jump ropes, soccer balls, and coloring materials to the children.

According to VNS, this marked the third charitable activity by the Women's Union of the MoPS Task Force, aiming to bring hope and support to African children impacted by internal conflicts and living in challenging conditions in IDP camps.
