The project will support eight (8) schools and 16,839 total beneficiaries, including men, women and children. 53% are women and girls, 9410 are children. 118 children have disabilities or special needs. 44% of the beneficiaries are adults: teachers, parents, and community.  
The main goal of the project is to integrate protection into education to provide a safer environment for children and youth. Maram regularly integrates protection into education and other sectors, and the integration for these programs is specifically designed by guidance from the Child Protection (CP) sub-cluster. The project contributes to the quality and integrated education and CP services, as well as towards maintaining and enhancing equitable access to services for IDPs. CP is critical for education. A lack of access to education has direct negative impacts on wellbeing and development. Children out of school face greater CP risks. CP concerns can prevent children from accessing education or decrease educational outcomes.
