CRESS Education Conference 2025

Exciting Highlights from the CRESS Education Conference 2025! 

The CRESS Education Conference 2025 which brought together 177 participants ~ students, parents, donors, and key stakeholders concluded with an inspiring speech by the Resident City Commissioner, who emphasized the importance of girls' education and encouraged students to aspire to leadership roles. Her closing remarks highlighted the transformative power of education and the role of youth in shaping the future.

The Commissioner also commended CRESS for its financial transparency, reassuring donors that their contributions are being used effectively to support education initiatives. Her words reinforced the trust and commitment of those who make these programs possible.

A highlight of the event was the testimony of CRESS Alumni, who shared their remarkable journeys and achievements. Representing a group of 25 graduates, they include medics, lawyers, IT specialists, dieticians, engineers, and more—most working for NGOs to uplift their communities and prepare for the return of their people. They also pledged to strengthen their network to support current students and amplify their impact.

The conference was a humbling experience for many, including the UK team, who were moved to tears by the stories of resilience and hope.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the CRESS UK team, our partners, and all those who continue to support our mission to empower displaced communities. Together, we are creating lasting impact!
