In
three weeks, world leaders will gather in Oslo and will have an
opportunity to publicly commit to the creation of a Global Humanitarian
Fund and Platform for Education in Emergencies to guarantee that millions of children affected by war and natural disasters can have a safe place to play and continue learning.
These leaders have the power to change the lives of children who’ve already survived some of the toughest childhoods imaginable. But without public noise, some leaders may forget these children - or delay it for so long it loses any meaning.
Can you share the message that NOW is the time for decisive action on education in emergencies?

It’s
no surprise that when a crisis occurs, children are the most
vulnerable. But what many people don’t understand is that education
doesn’t just equip children for the future — it protects them in the
present. Children in school are less likely be trafficked, forced into
early marriages, or exploited as child soldiers. They stand a better
chance of escaping poverty.
With the more than 6 million people (including you!) who have already signed the call to action in the #UpForSchool petition — to get all children everywhere in school and learning by the end of 2015 as promised — we are gaining momentum.
