Many children in Africa are still unable to go to school. We are committed to ensuring that they can exercise their right to education. One of the ways we achieve this is by building new schools.

In many African countries, the number of illiterate people is very high. Many people cannot read and write because they have not attended school. Girls are often excluded from attending school. There is often a lack of money to attend school or a lack of awareness and understanding in the family. Most children are involved in the family's daily housework, with girls having a particularly large number of tasks. Parents are skeptical about school education, often because they have never attended school themselves.

The importance of school attendance is immense, and not only in Africa. Education has a positive impact on all children and is also the key to combating poverty and creating a better future. Education is a human right and is enshrined in both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
