Education Now

Education cannot wait is an initiative dedicated to ensuring that children and youth affected by crises, including conflicts, natural disasters, and displacement, have access to quality education.

It was launched in 2016 during the World Humanitarian Summit as a response to the urgent educational needs of children in crisis situations who are often deprived of schooling due to circumstances beyond their control.

Key goals of ECW include:

1.Rapid Response: Providing immediate funding and support to maintain education continuity during emergencies.

2.Long-Term Investment: Supporting countries and organizations in rebuilding and strengthening educational systems in crisis-affected areas.

3.Holistic Approach: Addressing both the immediate educational needs and the psychological, physical, and social well-being of students.

4.Advocacy and Awareness: Raising global awareness about the importance of education in crisis situations and mobilizing resources for affected populations.

Education Cannot Wait partners with governments, NGOs, and international organizations to reach marginalized children and promote inclusive, resilient education systems.
