Adults at Ethiopia’s Bambasi camp for Blue Nile refugees now have access to educational opportunities thanks to new courses offered by non-governmental organizations.

Jalal El Gadi, a supervisor of Bambasi camp, told Radio Tamazuj Monday that organizations have opened up classes for about 500 adults.

He said one school for adult education was recently opened under the auspices of the World Food Programme (WFP) in collaboration with other organizations in the camp.

Jalal asked refugees to take advantage of the opportunities offered by humanitarian organizations.

The camp shelters more than 13,000 Sudanese refugees who came from Blue Nile at the outbreak of conflict in 2011 between the Sudan Armed Forces and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North.
