How did you get to school? 🛴🛹🚲🚗🚌🚊🚶♀️ Many children around the world are unable to access an education as the journey to the nearest school is too far for them to travel. We are working with our incredible network of local partners to build more schools, particularly in remote areas, to help remove this barrier and support more children into education. To find out more, head to our website, or donate today to support all children to be safe, in school and learning. https://lnkd.in/ekKkkEBz #School #Building

About us
Street Child works to see all children kept safe, in school and learning—especially in low resource environments and emergencies. Our vision is a world where it is seen as unacceptable for a child not to be in education. But today there are 250 million school-aged children around the world who are not in education. Millions more children are in school but failing to learn. Street Child believes that education is a fundamental right and achieving universal basic education is the single greatest step toward eliminating the inequality gap and global poverty. We go to places where others don’t go, where we seek out remote, hard-to-reach, fragile and disaster-affected states that are forgotten about and ignored. It’s in these contexts where our pragmatic and cost-effective approaches can make a real difference to a child’s future. Street Child works to remove the complex social, economic and structural barriers to education wherever they lie. We are there to close the gaps through which the most marginalised children can slip. Our work includes not only building schools and training teachers but also protecting children and livelihood support for caregivers to ensure they can afford the cost of their children’s education. Wherever we work, we partner with local organisations and communities which allows us to be responsive and nimble. We use simple, low-cost and replicable solutions that allow us to create maximum impact for the most children. We started out supporting 100 street-connected children in Sierra Leone in 2008. Since then, we have impacted one million marginalised children in over 25 countries around the world.

The DRC has endured decades of conflict, displacing millions and leaving over 24 million people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. We are dedicated to ensuring children's safety and access to education in the conflict-affected regions of North Kivu, South Kivu, Ituri, and Mai-Ndombe. Our team has provided school kits to vulnerable children, established child-friendly spaces, trained teachers, and successfully reintegrated children associated with armed groups back into their communities. Since 2010, Street Child has reached over 102,000 children across the DRC. To find out more about our work in the DRC, head to our website. 🌍 https://lnkd.in/ghF2mJex #DRC #EducationMatters

Take a break from scrolling and read on for some inspiration! ⚠️ As the #Olympics begin, we want to shine a spotlight on the incredible Refugee Olympic and Paralympic Teams! 🌍🏅 Over 40 athletes will compete in the Paris Games in these teams, representing over 100 million forcibly displaced people around the world. “Refugees thrive when given the opportunity to use, develop, and showcase their skills and talents, in sport and in many other walks of life,” says Filippo Grandi, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. These athletes demonstrate what can be achieved by children who grow up in hardship.

The climate crisis can feel overwhelming for many, so we’re focusing on how communities around the world are working to make a difference. 🌱 In the Democratic Republic of Congo, our team has launched a ‘greening project’ to educate children and create green spaces around the school. In over 20 schools across the country, children are being provided with seeds and learning how to plant trees. Not only does this foster an appreciation of the environment, income-generating activities such as community forestry or selling produce from these crops will support the community!
