A child should not stand where destruction speaks louder than play. Civilians are not a target.

A child should not stand where destruction speaks louder than play. Civilians are not a target.

Instead of playing or learning, countless children caught in armed conflict are forced to watch their kindergartens, schools, and homes come under attack, losing everything familiar to them.

No child deserves to grow up in such conditions, and no parent should ever have to witness it.

Imagine a world where we spend as much on books as we do on bombs. Imagine a world where every child is able to go to school & reach their full potential. Imagine a world without war.

That world is possible starting with #EducationForAll.
