"93 million primary-school-age children are not in school."

Every child should be able to be a child – to have a hopeful existence free of exploitation, violence, neglect, and poverty. Every child also needs education, health care and stable support systems. Unfortunately, the growth of 178 million children under the age of five will be stunted as a result of poor nutrition. And today 218 million children are child labourers, which in some countries amounts to 25-65% of the child-aged population.

Children in the poorest households and living in rural areas are more likely to be involved in child labour. And when children are burdened with both household chores and working, education is often compromised. Right now in sub-Saharan Africa, only one in four children who should be in secondary school actually attends, and globally, one in six children of secondary school age is still in primary school.
