Imagine a world where over 226 million children are caught in conflicts, forced displacement, and climate disasters. Without immediate action, 84 million will be out of school by 2030, and 300 million will lack basic literacy and numeracy skills.
This is not a dystopian future; this is the reality for millions of children today. In Gaza, where schools and universities have been destroyed, children's futures have been shattered.
Education is a lifeline. For children in crisis zones like Gaza, Afghanistan, and Sudan, access to quality education provides a sense of normalcy, hope, and the tools they need to rebuild their futures. Education Cannot Wait (ECW) works tirelessly to ensure that crisis-impacted children receive the education they need.
Now Education Cannot Wait has launched #ShareTheirVoices – an urgent new campaign to increase funding for the +226 million crisis-impacted children and adolescents in need of urgent education support. ECW is sharing these voices and stories of children in conflict directly with world leaders.
Governments must recognize their responsibility to children in conflict and crisis. By providing the necessary resources, we can protect every child with the chance to learn, grow, and enjoy a better future.
Support the call for increased funding for kids in conflict. Share their stories, tweet their experiences, and call on world leaders to #ActNow and fund education for all. Together, we can #ShareTheirVoices and make a difference.
