Education gives children an opportunity to realize their dreams

See how learning breaks down barriers to change

Children should be able to pursue their dreams, no matter where they’re born. Yet discrimination, exclusion and violence limits a child’s opportunities to learn and grow, affecting how they see the world and themselves. 

Christian Children’s Fund of Canada believes — together with our supporters — we can help children around the world overcome obstacles standing in the way of their education, dreams and potential. Through learning, children believe they can do the extraordinary.

Watch this video, to see how we’re making education accessible, so children have the skills to speak up and advocate for their rights.
