Every child has the right to an education. Yet millions of children of primary school age are denied their right to education due to war and armed conflict.

Schools can help children begin the process of recovering from trauma and grief, and voice their feelings without fear.

This is why Save the Children’s Rewrite the Future campaign is focussed on securing quality education for the millions of children out of school.

All donations collected through the World Kids Coloring Day will support this education project.

A global challenge: Rewrite the Future!

77 million children of primary age are not in school. More than half live in areas affected by war and conflict.

Yet education can bring protection and stability, and the potential to start building a more peaceful and prosperous society.

Save the Children pledges to ensure that 3 million out-of-school children gain access to good-quality education in conflict-affected countries by 2010 and to improve the quality of existing education programs for a further 5 million children.

The International Save the Children Alliance is a global network of 28 independent Save the Children organizations working to create immediate and lasting change for children in more than 120 countries around the world.
