During conflict and crisis, education protects children and sets them up for a better future. It provides a sense of hope and enables them to recover, learn and thrive. However, over 127 million children in countries affected by war and displacement are out of school, while many others receive only a poor quality education. Despite this great need, education has received less than three percent of all humanitarian aid in recent years.

Millions of people, particularly women and children, die from preventable causes in countries affected by conflict and natural disasters.

Malnutrition isn’t just hunger. It’s a life-threatening condition that can rob children of the opportunity to live full, healthy and productive lives.
