@EduCannotWait and @GPforEducation work together to protect children's education in emergencies and strengthen education systems in the long-run.
ECW's #HopeStartsHere replenishment is an important moment to mobilize the necessary resources to leave no child behind.

Investing in girls’ rights starts with protecting their right to education.
Marking International Day of the Girl Child, ECW’s new snapshot explores how ECW & partners support crisis-affected girls – breaking down barriers to access, learning & well-being, and identifying where stronger evidence & investment are needed.
Together, we must go further to ensure every girl affected by crisis can access safe, quality education.

Displacement and damaged infrastructure in #Yemen have led to dangerously overcrowded classrooms. Students are crammed into spaces where even hearing the teacher is a struggle. We are building new classrooms to give children the space they need to focus and heal. @EduCannotWait

The severe economic fallout of the conflict in #Yemen is forcing many children to work just to survive. Emergency remedial classes offer a crucial safety net, keeping young people engaged in learning even when economic pressures are at their worst. @EduCannotWait
