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.

Myanmar has endured a protracted conflict that has displaced millions and accelerated the country’s growing humanitarian crisis. The International Rescue Committee is on the ground in Myanmar, providing vital, long-standing support.
