How we’re changing lives through education

See how school can make a difference in so many lives

We believe in investing in education by breaking barriers holding children back from dreaming of a brighter future.

To make it possible for children to access their basic right to go to school, we help create thriving communities, advance child rights and protections, promote equality for girls and partner with children to discover what they need to succeed.

Last year our supporters made it possible for 466,000 children, parents and other community members to benefit from inclusive, quality education.

Watch this YouTube video from the France-based Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development to learn more about why higher learning can make a difference in a home, a community and a national economy.

Give the gift of education today.
