Every Child
has the Right to
Quality Education
THE ISSUE
About 258 million children in the world have no idea
how powerful they could be.
They are out of school. That is roughly 1 out of 5 children. The majority of these children are missing school because they are engaged in child labor. Others are deprived of education due to conflict or disasters. It is estimated that more than 617 million – or six out of ten – children and adolescents of primary and lower secondary school age do not achieve minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics.
We are trying to change that.
Why education? It impacts everything.
Education reduces poverty
Education prevents inequality
Education protects
the planet
Education drives sustainability
Education leads to
better health
Education promotes gender equality
Education is a Gift that Keeps on Giving
We don’t see people living in poverty as passive recipients of charity, but as full-bodied agents of change who want to solve their own problems and make their own decisions. This could not be made more clear by the stories of the people involved in our projects.
