“Let us Learn” Education Initiative
Few things create as much hope for a better life as access to education. But far too many girls and boys around the world lack this perspective. For many, attending school, which we often take for granted, is often an unreachable dream. They live in poverty, suffer from armed conflict or discrimination, or they live in far-flung regions. Girls are particularly affected by this situation. With the education initiative “Let Us Learn”, UNICEF helps disadvantaged children in five countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Liberia, Madagascar and Nepal.
The initiative enables even the poorest children to gain new hope through learning. From preschool support to elementary schooling and even courses for young people who have never set foot in a classroom, Let Us Learn projects adopt an innovative approach. Girls receive special support because equal opportunity is the bedrock of a well-functioning society. Let Us Learn has a specific focus in each country. The initiative was launched in 2011 by Stefan Findel and Susan Cummings-Findel together with UNICEF.
