Access to education is key

Break barriers, aid kids' learning globally.

Even before a global pandemic created so many problems for children to attend school, Children Believe was on a path to creating access to education — inside and outside of classrooms — so that children can achieve their dreams. Now more than ever we believe in the power of education to help kids help themselves.

Children Believe and our supporters empower children to overcome barriers preventing them from accessing education so they can pursue their life goals. By working with children in the countries where they live, we gain a clearer understanding of how their rights are violated and bring together families, communities, coalitions, businesses and academia to champion those rights and aspirations.

Watch the video to see how we are making access to education a crucial part of all that we do.

Join the global movement to make education possible for everyone, and sponsor a child today.
