Education is critical to the future of all children, but especially for those who would otherwise have no access to schooling as it gives children hope for life and work.
Education, in particular, can leverage significant improvements in the lives of orphans and vulnerable children. Besides conferring knowledge and life skills, schooling can contribute to a child’s psychosocial development and provide a safe, structured environment in turbulent times.
In particular, the education of girls has been correlated with the benefits of later child bearing, better birth spacing, smaller family size, reduced poverty and healthier, better-educated children.
