Hi John,
This week at the Global Education Summit in London, world leaders missed a
big opportunity to turn the tide on the learning crisis. The Global
Partnership for Education (GPE) — a fund designed to support children’s
education in low-income countries — fell $1 billion short of its funding
goal of at least $5 billion.
But campaigning efforts from ONE supporters and activists around the world
were not in vain. From the 85,000 signature petition, to [ [link removed] ]kids sharing
their favourite books, you helped get leaders to recognise the urgent
learning crisis worsened by COVID-19. The $4 billion pledged by donor
governments to GPE’s work will help get millions more children back into
the classroom and learning. Leaders of 19 low-income countries working
with GPE also pledged crucial funding for education for the next five
years.
Learn more about what ONE supporters, like you, achieved in the last few
months:

Africa faces devastating third wave of virus
African countries are facing a third wave of COVID-19 infections, which
threatens to be even more brutal than the two that came before. Between
June and July, cases rose by nearly 200% across Africa.
A huge cause for this third wave is the spread of new variants and
[ [link removed] ]unequal access to COVID-19 vaccines. Last week, the European Union
announced it would [ [link removed] ]share an additional 100 million COVID vaccine doses
with low-income countries. But with less than 3% of doses already pledged
being delivered, rich countries are failing to respond to the urgency of
the crisis.
