Education can break the cycle of poverty and give children a brighter future, yet 1 in 10 children worldwide are currently out of school. Street Child is working to change that. First, we ensure that children are safe, especially from risks that keep them from accessing an education. Then we get children back into school by supporting enrolment and livelihoods for their families. Finally, we improve the quality of education so that children can actually learn when they're at school! Corporate partners are critical to our work, enabling us to reach more children in need.

Save the Children – #London – #UK Around the world, too many children start life at a disadvantage simply because of who they are and where they come from. Millions of children are dying from preventable causes, face poverty, violence, disease and hunger. They are caught up in war zones and disasters they did nothing to create. And they are denied an education and other basic rights owed to them. All children deserve better. We champion the rights and interests of children worldwide, putting the most vulnerable children first. With 25,000 dedicated staff across 118 countries, we respond to major emergencies, deliver innovative development programmes, and ensure children's voices are heard through our campaigning to build a better future for and with children. https://lnkd.in/eMeG2Vu8 #NGO #SAvetheChildren

Sad how despite being a modern Western country so many children are still living in poverty, this number is increasing again and it tears me up that there are so many children out there who don't have access to the basics. There is such disparity across society, if we don't invest in today's children, if we don't tackle poverty, what world and chances will there be for children today as they reach adulthood? #tacklechildpoverty #inequality #disparity #socialinjustice #childreninpoverty #let'smakethefuturebetter

Equal access to quality education for the poorest of the poor is an issue of social justice. By equipping children from the world’s poorest communities with education and skills, they have the chance to live independent, dignified lives, free from poverty. We must take an active role in social justice and help empower others to live with dignity. Take action today and help give another child living in poverty a quality education. #ThisWayToSocialJustice

Universal free school meals for all children in primary and secondary schools are "not just an initiative that can be reviewed annually; it’s a lifeline that bridges the gap between food poverty and a brighter future for our children." I agree. Do you? You can read Reema reid's blog with The Food Foundation below. https://lnkd.in/exySFh6t #goodfood4all #goodfoodforall
