Message from the Executive Director
#UpForSchool, #EducationCountdown Mobilize Efforts for Children's Education Worldwide
Sonia

Despite efforts to improve access to quality education in countries across the globe, today 58 million children worldwide do not go to school.

 

A World at School and Global Business Coalition for Education are hoping to change that. The organizations joined together to launch a new global campaign to bring children's education to the forefront of the social agenda--challenging governments, NGOs, and others to get all children into school and learning by the end of 2015.

 

Thank you for your support -
together we can make a better life for children in tobacco-growing communities!
