48 hours for schools not exploitation

In 48 hours, the Norwegian Government will bring together world leaders with a simple mission: get them to guarantee that millions of children affected by war and natural disasters can have a safe place to learn.

When disaster hits, schools close and children fall through the cracks. Kids find themselves more vulnerable to exploitation -- child labour, early marriages, even trafficking, and they slip further into poverty. 28 million children are out of school in emergency-affected areas, but last year only 1% of all humanitarian aid went to education.

Let's help change that today by flooding key decision makers with messages, before the summit starts. Our push will show them the world is watching. Use the form on the right to send a message now.

The most powerful messages are personal and in your own words, but here are some suggestions. Remember to be polite:
  • I call on you to publicly commit to the creation of a Global Humanitarian Fund & Platform for Education in Emergencies
  • 28 million children are out of school in emergency-affected areas, but last year only 1% of all humanitarian aid went to education.
  • These children have already suffered severely because of the crisis in their home countries
  • Without action they are more vulnerable to child exploitation and even trafficking
  • Urgent action is needed to to protect them and get them back in school
