#ActionSumatra—
THE SITUATION

children in Sumatra are still waiting

Severe flooding across Sumatra has damaged 4,518 schools, disrupting learning for more than 657,000 children—many in North Sumatra. Classrooms are no longer safe or usable, forcing students out of school for months. When a school is lost, children don’t just lose a building—they lose routine, stability, and the chance to keep learning.
