Today is International Day of
Education, an exceptionally important day to remember the millions of
children who cannot go to school — and the people who are working to
change that — which is why I am reaching out to you.

We know that a brighter future starts with an education — providing
children with the skills and resources they need to live fulfilling lives
and find success for themselves and their communities.

Yet, violent conflict, climate-related disaster, persistent poverty, and
exorbitant school fees prevent more than 250 million students from
accessing an education.

Thanks to compassionate supporters like you, Mercy Corps works to keep
children in school around the globe. Our programs also find creative ways
of teaching for children who are impacted by conflict, disaster, and more.
Here are a few examples of this work:

[ [link removed] ]Myroslava, 30, and Khrystyna, 40, run a children’s community center
  in Ukraine to provide a safe space for children to learn, play, and  
grow.
 


In Ukraine, where the ongoing war has kept young children out of school
for nearly three years, Mercy Corps’ support enabled a children’s
community center to purchase new carpet for their space, a generator for
electricity and heat, a smartboard, several games, and other necessary
equipment.

young women outside her community center.
 


In rural Guatemala, where economic opportunities are scarce for young
women, Mercy Corps provides business and financial training to help
community youth develop skills, access resources, and create a better
life.

  [ [link removed] ]Mercy Corps Health Officer, Abelita, plays games with students to  
teach them about nutrition.
 


In Timor Leste, Mercy Corps provides training sessions to teachers and
faculty focusing on nutritional foods that strengthen, protect, and
encourage growth in children. With this knowledge, teachers educate their
students about nutrition and ensure school meals are full of nourishment.

Across the globe, Mercy Corps teams are working to ensure that children
and adolescents have access to education. With your support, our teams are
rebuilding schools damaged by conflict, helping young girls — who are
disproportionately kept out of the classroom — find ways to get back and
stay in school, and providing training for young adolescents to learn a
trade or start a business.

On
International Day of Education, we are grateful for your generosity that
powers our efforts to help educate kids around the world.

But more help is needed to shape the future of countless children in
crisis areas. [ [link removed] ]Learn more about how many children and adolescents do
