Petition Support equal access to education for children in Africa.
Reports suggest that 70 million children get no education across the world and those living in north-eastern Africa are least likely to go to school. By raising awareness on the issue on a national scale we can help those children who are disadvantaged by supporting their journey through education.

An education would lead to a good career, build character and construct the foundations for a strong nation, which is further suggested by humanitarian Nelson Mandela; “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” If you teach a child how to read and write, it will allow them to be empowered with knowledge which will be crucial to give them a better future and the impacts to be sustained.
