That’s 32 million children who, today, still lack the best chance they have at a future free from poverty. Your money could give them that chance.

Many of these children live in extreme poverty, are disabled or affected by conflict or HIV.

Many that do make it to school are forced to drop out by pressures outside the school gates or by a lack of adequate educational resources – leaving them unable to read or write.

Your cash can help to support marginalised children and young people to stay in school and get the education and skills they need to build a better future for themselves and their families.

A single year of primary school increases the wages people earn later in life by 5-15% for boys and even more for girls.
