For children at risk, education can be the most precious gift imaginable. It can give them the strength to cope with their daily struggle for food, shelter, and safety, and the imagination to dream of a better future. But right now, far too many children are being denied education — and hope.
Our global community is facing the worst humanitarian crisis in more than half a century. Many governments and NGOs struggle just to provide basic services like food and shelter, forcing millions of children to go without education. But education isn’t a luxury. It’s the only thing that can give these children hope for a better tomorrow, and give the world hope for a more peaceful future.
