PORT SUDAN, SUDAN – Sudanese 13-year-old Afrah wants to become a surgeon, and nothing will stop her, not even the war that has ravaged her country and forced millions of children out of school.

Quiet and determined, and uprooted by the now three-year conflict between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), she kept learning on her own for months.

“I would study my lessons again and again,” she said at a displacement camp in Port Sudan, where she is again receiving an education thanks to UNICEF and local organisation SCEFA.
