Yet, more than 260 million don’t have the opportunity to go to school or complete their education.

Many live near schools but aren’t allowed to enter. Others are forced to sit apart for a simple reason — they’re a girl.

What’s standing in their way?
-Music-
Narrator:
Gender inequality, harmful social practices, violence and discrimination as well as lack of access to basic resources such as, maternal and child-health services.
To break these barriers, we build schools, equip health centres, supply clean water and ensure their sustainability.
At the same time, we help children tackle serious social issues such as, child marriage, child labour and mistaken beliefs that girls don’t need an education.
We also engage boys and men as partners for change.
By partnering with children, communities, supporters and governments, we increase accountability and help ensure laws protect children.

Narrator:
The result, children believe they can do the extraordinary.
Whether it’s going to school, helping end child marriage or becoming a teacher, nurse or successful entrepreneur, a child should have the opportunity to realize their dreams.

Education brings children a world full of possibilities.
