Education breeds hope and change for the better

See how children enjoy the chance to go to school

Education provides opportunity, and among the children we help around the world, it can bring lasting change to their life, their family and their community. That’s why children from vulnerable communities are eager to learn.

And learning shouldn’t be limited to anyone. Just ask one of the girls in the video below. She says: “When people ask me: ‘why should girls go to school,’ I just answer: ‘Why not?’

We agree, and we help children access education and reach their dreams by supporting thriving communities, advancing child rights and protection, promoting equality for girls and partnering with children for change.

Watch this UNICEF video to see what education means to children around the world, and help us reach their dreams through education today. Visit childrenbelieve.ca/giftsforgood to give an educational gift.
